The 2024 spring/summer/fall sea-
son for the Battle Creek Shuffleboard
Club is underway on the courts locat-
ed near the front entrance to B.C.’s
Bailey Park off Capital Ave. NE.
Larry Roan of the B.C.
Shuffleboard Club said drop-in play
is now taking place every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday starting at 10
a.m., and will continue into the early
fall months.
Aside from drop-in play and local
tourneys, the B.C. Shuffleboard Club
will host the Michigan Shuffleboard
Association State Tournament for the
10th straight season this coming July
29-Aug. 1 – and everyone local is
invited to join in and participate.
Yearly club dues remain $10 per
person. Those new to the sport
will be given equipment to use and
how-to-play advice for their first
few weeks of play until they decide
whether or not they want to join the
club.
Roan added that men and women of
all ages and skill levels are welcome
to come out to the Bailey Park courts
at the aforementioned times to give
the activity a try – and see old friends
or make new ones.
For more information or to join
the Battle Creek Shuffle-board Club,
contact Roan at (269) 986-5385 or at
[email protected].
Thus far during the 2024 season,
two home-court tournaments have
taken place – and more are scheduled
prior to and after the state tourney.
Coming up is the Farley-Estes
Tournament on July 8, the Belding
tourney on July 15 and the Caro
tourney on July 24. And after the
state tourney, the Michigan Memorial
Draw Any Doubles Tournament is set
for Aug. 19.
Now, following are recent home-
court tourney results:

announcement that Fleming “is
creating a balance of fervent com-
petitiveness with a firm grounding in
sportsmanship and strong academic
achievement, while making postsea-
son runs across the department. That
is no small task.”
Additionally, Fleming’s “profes-
sional, thoughtful and student-athlete
focused presence on the Executive
Committee has been invaluable,”
Perry noted.
Fleming, an Olivet native and 2011
graduate of KCC, took the helm
of the Athletics Department in the
summer of 2022 after several years
of experience in various positions
throughout the world of sports.
As a Bruin, Fleming was himself a
part of the KCC baseball teams that
won a conference championship in
2010 and a regional championship
in 2011, a year that ended with the
Bruins finishing fourth in the nation
at the NJCAA D-II World Series.MCCAA
