Gamesroom

Gamesroom Coordinator

The Gamesroom is never a quiet space at the Boys & Girls Club, but it is the heart and soul of it. At any given moment, laughter and excitement can be heard and it is apparent that fun is everyone’s primary objective. Members can check out the equipment for table games such as pool, foosball, air hockey, and ping pong. It is here that the roots of the Club's mission take hold and members discover how to be respectful, share, and socialize with one another. Members can also check out board games and participate in tournaments and challenges. Games and tournaments improve motor skills, teach structure through rules and regulations, and foster good sportsmanship and fair play. The Gamesroom is the place Club members can connect with one another and with our Youth Development Professionals. This is also the weekly meeting place for Club "Town Hall Meetings” in which members are informed of the week’s events and activities. The Boys & Girls Club can always use pool cues, board games, and other supplies to keep the fun going!
