Fuel hosts 2nd Middle School Dodgeball Tournament 

St. Bernard's Youth Activities Program kicks off fall events with Dodgeball
Tournament 

 

Fuel, the youth activities program from St. Bernard Parish President Craig
Taffaro's office, will kick off the school year with its first event
September 25.  The event will be a Dodgeball Tournament for sixth to eighth
grade students.  Boys and girls from all schools are welcomed to
participate.  Teams will be comprised of six students and will compete in a
double elimination tournament at the Fuel Youth Center at 210 E. Moreau St.
in Chalmette.  The Youth Center is located behind the School Board Building.


 

Team registration and practice will be September 25 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The tournament will begin immediately after registration at 6:30 p.m. and
will last until 9 p.m.  The Grand Prize for the winning team will be a
private party at the Fuel Center for the team and their friends.
Concessions will be sold at the event, and there is a $1 entry fee for both
participants and fans.

 

After the success of the first Dodgeball Tournament last May, it was decided
that the event will be a staple in the middle school schedule for Fuel.
Other upcoming middle school events include a Saint's Party on October 10
from 2:30 to 7 p.m. at the Fuel Center, Game Night on October 16 at Trist
Middle School from 6:30 to 9 p.m.; and Game Nights on November 13 and
December 4 with locations to be announced.

 

The Fuel Youth Center is currently open after school until 6 p.m. on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Students can come play basketball, dodgeball, video
games, work on the computers or just hang out with their friends.  Adult
supervision is always provided.  For more information on the Fuel Youth
Program and any events, please call Abbey Flaherty, SBPG Youth Coordinator
