AARA Sponsors help us provide participants & spectators snacks, meals, prizes & the post-season banquet so please thank them when you see them! We’re a small community and welcome extra people joining us. Stop by and share some laughter and a snack with us.

Shuttles will have 8-minute rounds with a 2-minute transition between courts. There will be a 10-15 minute Admin time between each shuttle division start. Bring a good attitude and know it will be self-officiated as described here.
