Experience	We are a club sport at our university. Anyone is more than welcome to come, join the team and play. We accept all and will teach whoever wants to learn how to play, but we are also a very competitive team. Each year we are working on trying to make regionals. We practice Monday through Thursday and we get a lot done in that time.
Funding	The program is funded fairly well. Out-of-pocket expenses include the tournament fee, which is divided up amongst every team member that attends a tournament, and money for food. Most of the time, hotel and gas expenses are reimbursed to those who initially pay for those expenses.
Goals	Our immediate goals are to have a strong showing at the Mardi Gras tournament in a few weeks, and also to do well enough at sectionals to advance to regionals. A long term goal is to increase both the size and popularity of our team at our university.
