Please don’t be intimidated by the word “Olympics.” If you can throw a Frisbee, a waffle ball, basketball or a Nerf football, you can participate.

You do not have to enter all events. You only enter the ones you want to participate in. The Tucker Co. team has done very well in the past and we would love to have you join our team and help us bring home lots of medals.
