Goddard
Basketball League Preparing for Upcoming Season - New Teams Welcome!
The Goddard
Basketball League is preparing for the upcoming season, and would
like to extend an invitation to any new teams to join the league.
The league is open to all men and women civil servants and contractors
working at least half time on a NASA contract, and/or their spouse,
siblings, or children.
The games are
played in the gyms in the local area on Wednesday nights, and have
referees and scorekeepers. All skill levels are represented on the
various teams, and the games are competitive, but fun. Interested
teams should contact:
Bob Tice at
301-286-6139 or rtice@pop600.gsfc.nasa.gov
Keith Morris at 301-286-9664 or kmorris@pop200.gsfc.nasa.gov
Lee Bodden at 301-614-5351 or bodden@daac.gsfc.nasa.gov
Individuals
who are looking to join a team should also contact Bob, Keith, or
Lee, as the existing teams may need a few players. So, whether you
imagine yourself to be a Jordan-like star, or just someone who likes
to play basketball and can hit a basket now and then, this is your
opportunity to get back on the court in organized games!
Please contact
us by November 3, 2003, if you are entering a new team into
the league or if you are an individual seeking placement on an existing
team.
