Driving directions: Coming south on I-5 from Seattle take the Kent-Des Moines Exit 149; head east (downhill) toward Kent; turn right at the first traffic light (Military Road); continue south to the first traffic light (Reith Road) and turn left. West Fenwick Park is two blocks ahead on your left. The courts are five minutes from the freeway exit.

Coming from the south and driving north on I-5 take Exit 147; at the end of the ramp turn right; get in the left lane and take a left at the stop light at Military Road; go north on Military to the traffic light at Reith Road; turn right and watch for the park on your left.

Remember to bring lawn chairs, shade umbrellas, canopies, blankets, sun-screen, ibuprofen, water, etc.

Format will be as follows: two flights of A and B player teams will play a ‘round robin’; at the end of round robin play in both flights an order of finish will be determined; the top A and B players in each flight will play each other in a Champions Round as will the second, third, fourth, etc. During the round robin positive scoring will be used (defensive team scores for each hand out). In the Champions Round only the serving team can score. An attempt will be made in the draw to have each player play each game with a different partner against a different team. This format allows for as many as 36 players; with a full roster each player will play a total of nine games. That’s a lot of handball so plan on being at the courts until late afternoon. See you on the courts!
