| 49 | Norma Brown | bbnorm@yahoo.com | basketball-3-on-3 | 55-59 | Hello, Here is some information that might be helpful. 1) I would be coming from CA and looking to play at the Santa Fe location in Nov. 2) My age division is 50-55 and my birthday is in Jan. 3) I'm 5'9 and I usually play the post position. 4) I have played BB in HS and the first two years of college (D3) 5) I'm right handed, I feel more comfortable taking mid-range or shots within the paint. I'm not an outside shooter (i.e. 3-pointers). 90% of the time I take shots with my right hand because I'm not strong with my left hand. 6) I currently play basketball at least once a week and sometimes more depending on how my left knee is feeling. 7) I have played in single day tournaments before (April 2026) but not multi-day tournaments. Looking to test myself in a back to back tournament. 8) I currently have some video of me playing which can be found here (https://share.icloud.com/photos/09196qDzKJ1CpABe_rvY5jAYA). I'm dressed in all black int the two videos. I can resend the videos because the link has an expiration date. 9) Looking for a team who is looking for a post/power forward player. I'm not a guard and no longer have the speed to be considered a small forward. Hopefully, I have given you a good start. If interested please reach out to me at my yahoo email address.

| 45 | Keith | winningedgesports@charter.net | 18179175775 | volleyball-team | 70-74 | I am looking to find a good team for the Nationals in Tulsa next year. I mostly play beach volleyball doubles so I can cover a lot of court. I used to play right side but in 2022 switched to left side for the Washington state senior games where I took gold in men's 60 + doubles and 60+ coed quads. (I play both sides now on a regular basis) Since I am now eligible for 70+, and there are no beach tournaments I know of that have a 70+ division, I started playing indoors and qualified for the Nationals in the Texas State Games. I'm 6'2" 185Lbs and am very athletic. | 2026-06-11 08:09:00 |
