SUMMER BABY BAY STATES

13 June 2008, 7:16PM PDT by admin (ERIC BOEHLKE)  [updated at 7:17PM PDT]

The regular Bay State Games will be held on August 2nd at Tohoku this year.
 
The Baby Bay States are scheduled for Friday night during the summer and is a favorite event for Junior competitors ages 9 and under.  The youngest competitors from Massachusetts will compete in this special competition at Tohoku since they are not able to compete at the regular Bay State Games, it's a lot of fun and you'll be amazed at the great Judo you'll see; right now I am considering holding the Baby Games on Friday, August 1st (comments to teamtohoku@aol.com)
 
These two events are open only to Mass. Residents or members of Mass. Clubs.
