Text Box: Put it on your calendar ! Text Box: Seniors 3v3, skills and 5v5 Basketball Our Seniors Basketball Program is bigger than ever! We have two 3v3 teams, a great group of skill development athletes, and three 5v5 teams who are all training hard for competition in the state games. One of the 5v5 teams is a team from the Katherine Thomas School that participated in 3v3 high school play and competition last year and has expanded to a full-court team this year. Thank you to all of our amazing and dedicated SOMO basketball coaches! Text Box: Juniors and High School Basketball Our Juniors Round Robin League featured 8 teams of 5v5 play and a huge number of wonderful Unified Partners and volunteer Buddies. The Juniors Elementary Team Tournament will be held at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church on March 1 and the Intermediate Tournament at the Barrie School on March 8th. Our High school 3v3 League has six teams training their hearts out to compete at the State Spring Classic at Towson. This pilot program begun last year has been very successful!

SOMO VIP Volunteer!

A Very Special SOMO Thank you goes to our Bowling Program Team Manager and SOMO Mom, Debbie Fickenscher. Debbie serves our athletes and programs all year long. As the Bowling Team Manager she oversees the 10 Pin Bowling program in the Fall Season with the hugely successful Bowl-a-thon; the Competitive Winter session with our SOMO Bowling Tournament and  State Games  Bowling Tournament; and in our Spring Recreational season featuring the new and very popular “I beat my coach bowling tournament”. Debbie began the weekly bowling team newsletter ”Lane Lines”, and developed the “alternate status” that allows for the placement of bowlers not on the season roster into open bowling slots  on a week to week basis.        Great work, Debbie!

Our Cross Country, Alpine and Snow Shoe Ski Programs are having their most successful season ever!

Beginning with cross-training in November, our cross country, snowshoe and alpine skiers worked hard on getting “fit for ski”! Although there hasn’t been snow at home,

they have traveled to on-snow training

events and SOMO will have our largest ever

delegation of 25 athletes competing in the

Winter Games at WISP on February 24-26.

Go and cheer them on!

Congrats Skiers!

Your SOMO skill and sportsmanship make us proud!

Wrap up the winter sports season and meet up with all of your SOMO friends!
