CENTRAL FLORIDA (oct 19-20, 2018)—-The weekend “warmup” was Friday evening with armwrestling and Halloween-themed fitness challenges. The highlight was 4 boys armwrestling World Record Weber in an effort to push both of her arms down. It was super-charged sets of training with long lengths of time and effort to attempt to push the world record holder down and then a fitness challenge to work on other muscle groups. The boys ended the evening feeling like confident ghostbusters. They were prepared to take on the Saturday Scarecrows and other Haunts.
“I loved the armwrestling. The whole event with the archery and shuffleboard was really fun and challenging and it was way better than my expectations,” stated Matteo, The League Hall of Famer and winningest athlete in the League. Matteo won the archery and shuffleboard events.
It was a very challenging, exciting, and surprising Pumpkin Shoot with 4 stations. It started with a sound effect relay event. Then, a 3-way pumpkin Aim Challenge event, Scarecrow challenge, and Escape the Cobweb challenge. It came down to the “Bonus Round” to claim the winner. All nine archers were just a few points from one another. Each archer picked their best station to garner the final points to become a breakaway winner. Matteo won with 16 points. A new archery student, Ashley, (who just learned archery this week) tied for second place with Raven (the only female to win 2 consecutive championships). They both scored 15 points. Matteo won the scarecrow as other top archers took home pumpkins.

The boys requested to play shuffleboard. The boys and their families stampeded over to Clermont Shuffleboard to continue the excitement. The girls have requested basketball and their special event is coming soon.
“I always love how Alicia challenges the kids with fitness and other activities. The shuffleboard is a new activity. I love the idea that we have all ages of people playing shuffleboard together. We have the kids, adults, and seniors competing together and you rarely see all the generations together in sports. I love this event,” said Matteo’s mom.
Everyone had a good time learning and laughing in the new, fun sport of shuffleboard. The Clermont Shuffleboard Champions guided everyone. There were 4 teams of two people. Matteo and his teammate won as they reached 75 points first (the goal in shuffleboard). It took only an hour for them to claim the victory.
