This is just a friendly note to let you all know that we will be at the Four Square World Championships on Feb 28, 2009. To all the good folks in Bridgton, the great people of Portland, all of the UCONN four square team, the barbarians of the north in Newfoundland, and all the citizens of the great nations attending the championships - take a good, hard look at the fiercest competition you'll ever face. See you there.

"I am trying to write a paper..."
Dear Sean
I am trying to write a paper on promoting four square. The only problem is there is not a lot of resources out on the internet. Could you help me with some of the pro's of playing four square, so far I only have: you can make it your own game, simple instructions, not a lot of materials, any age group, and hand eye coordination?

Vote on the 2009 league shirt color
It's that time of year again. Time to vote on the color for the four square league t-shirts. We're going to get an order in shortly after our next game so we can be properly pimped out at the world championships in Maine.
The color choices are wide. Blue, teal, gray and "cranberry". Cranberry isn't read, its like a dark red but not too close to brown, FYI. Cast your vote here:
