Come and play dodge ball at Coleman High School in Hurley! The Coleman Cares 4-H Club of Ulster County will host a dodge ball Tournament on Friday, April 20 in the gymnasium at the John A. Coleman High School located at 430 Hurley Avenue in Kingston.
The cost is $100 per team, no limit on how many members. Eight people to start, two girls must start. Must be 13 years old and up to participate. Registration begins at 5:30pm in the main lobby. Game starts at 6:00pm. To register, email ColemanCares4h@gmail.com or call the Coleman High School Office at 845-338-2750.

All proceeds will benefit a new water bottle filling station for the Coleman High School and The Smile Train Foundation. Coleman students are hoping that installing a water bottle filling station in the school will help to eliminate the waste of plastic water bottles.
