• We will have two divisions this year! The super social division is for newbie and novice teams/players. The social division is for teams/players who understand the fundamentals and are looking for something slightly more competitive. Teams/players who know proper court positioning and try to be strategic in how and where they hit the ball would be best suited in the social division. QCS will determine teams/players division. The social division is still very casual and fun!
