Sharon Wilde has resigned from her position as secretary of the Northern District Shuffleboard Association.  Her decision was based on scheduling conflicts and personal reasons.  We thank her for her time on the Board.

We are now seeking anyone interested in filling the secretary role within the association for the balance of her term (March 2027).  Since our next meeting is not scheduled until October 2026, we have ample time for a smooth transition.

If you or know anyone who might be interested in the position or have any questions, please reach out to me directly.

Joseph Inga, President

Northern District Shuffleboard Association

The Coronado-Shuffleboard Club hosted the State Amateur TOC on 3/30/26. Chris Inga was our director. Coronado-Mainland SBC and Joe and Chris Inga were our sponsors. Thanks to all the Coronado-Mainland Volunteers who made this tournament a success!

Dear Northern District Shuffleboarders,
This past Monday, the Northern District hosted the State FSA Tournament of
Champions. The professional division took place in Hawthorne, while the
amateur division was held in Coronado/Mainland. Throughout the event, the
Northern District stood out and performed admirably.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and unwavering support for the
Northern District’s amateurs, especially those who participated in the State
Amateur Tournament of Champions. In total, 25 men and 14 women competed in
the tournament, with 17 men and 9 women representing the Northern District.
Despite initial concerns from the State FSA about low participation, I remained
confident that more than 20 Northern District amateurs would join, and that
confidence was justified. The event was enjoyable for all, and Chris Inga did an
outstanding job directing her first state tournament.
Thank you all for your dedication to fostering sportsmanship, camaraderie, and
excellence within our shuffleboard community. Your efforts are truly appreciated,
and I look forward to witnessing the continued growth and success of our
community in the coming years.
With sincere thanks and support,
Joseph Inga, President
Northern District Shuffleboard Association

The Deland Shuffleboard Club hosted the 2025-2026 ND Masters Tournament. Chris Inga was our director. The Deland SBC, CMS SBC, Bob Robinson and Robert Shuford were our sponsors for the tournament. Brad & Valerie, Joe Inga as well as all their volunteers did a fantastic job setting everything up with all the decorations and support. Donuts, coffee and cookies throughout. The tournament board was beautiful and so easy to read. Thanks to the hardest working people, our pushers who got the discs back to the players so quickly and spent the days standing in the sun. Congratulations to everyone who played.

Brad and Valerie and their team of volunteers left early to set up the Chisholm Center for our Banquet after the tournament. The tables were decorated with flowers and early snacks. The room was decorated and the Video was going of pictures taken during the tournament. We had a beautifully designed program and a wonderful dinner of subs with Italian, Chicken and Roast Beef. Potato salad, cole slaw and wonderful desserts topped off the menu. Brad began the program with the invocation by Christine Giumarra, the pledge of allegiance and then we ate.

We had a great video presentation by a surprise guest (Hammer) and then the announcements and awards. Then the trophies were presented to the winners, the pins to the qualifiers and a special award from Stan Williamson for the 90 year olds, John Giumarra, George Snyder and Richie Burrell. (John Giumarra won the Tournament at age 93). All in all it was a great time had by all. Thanks to the Deland Shuffleboard Club for a great tournament and banquet.

Please Note: Starting tomorrow March 23rd, there will be Pre Registration for the State Amateur TOC to be held at Coronado-Mainland on March 30th. The information should include your  Email your name and FSA number to shuffler.records.gam@gmail.com. This will help the hosting club to have an idea of who will be attending.

Anyone who is accompanying a qualified Amateur to the tournament that would be interested in volunteering to push, please let us know. Thank you.

It is with great sadness that the Deland Shuffleboard club announces the passing of Arnie Fischbach, a beloved former member of the DeLand Shuffleboard Club and the Deltona Shffleboard Club. Arnie and his wife Fran Fischbach were both admired for their hard work and their devotion to the game of shuffleboard. They were snowbirds for many years dividing their time between Maplewood, Minnesota and DeBary, Florida. In 2018 they left Florida to move back to Minnesota full time to be with family.
Our hearts go out to Fran and all their loved ones during this di=icult time. We do not have
any further information at this time.

Yesterday we had the final ND Board of Directors meeting for the season. We had our regular meeting (Minutes to Follow) and then Brad Simons gave the Oath of Office to our new Directors. The new ND Board is now official.
