Bowling
If you would like to become part of our most popular, year-round activity, then join us Saturday mornings from 10am - noon and bowl three games with us at Del Mar Lanes (3020 Mangum) This is a terrific way to meet and make new friends, and for some fun exercise. Please text Dawn Mueller 713-470-7490 for more information- or just show up at Del Mar. There will be NO bowling on the weekends of national holidays. Please check the calendar for exact dates.
Bocce:
Bocce will begin in July or August, and we are planning to attend two or three tournaments this year – the
East Regional in Pearland is on September 17, the statewide Fall Classic in College Station is on October
6-8, and the Greater Houston Area competition is at Kinkaid School on October 22. If you are interested
in joining us for either Unified Doubles or traditional bocce, please contact Dawn Mueller.
Volleyball
Volleyball will begin in August, with practice dates and times TBD. The Greater Houston Volleyball
Tournament will take place on November 12 at the Willowbrook Sports Complex, and hopefully, we will
be able to attend State Games in February. We will advise athletes and their families with more details as
they become available. We are also looking for 3 to 4 non-IDD individuals of similar age to our athletes,
who would be willing to commit to attending practices and competing as part of a Unified Volleyball team
at the Area level (only) this year. If you are interested, please contact Dawn Mueller.
