Dodgeball Tournament 🏐 – Tri-M is excited to announce that it is hosting a double elimination dodgeball tournament on April 23rd at 5:00p in Lancaster Gym. In this format, teams will have to lose twice in order to be eliminated, so you’ll have a chance to keep playing even if you lose a match. Gather your friends and sign up in the main office to form a team of 5-8 players. The entry fee is $5 per team member. Get creative and come up with some epic team names (nothing inappropriate). There will be a team of Teachers and Tri-M Members. Will your team be the one to topple the Teacher team? Let’s see who can dip, duck and dodge their way to victory! Don’t miss out on all of the fun!
