We like to call our veteran team of players the “legends” as it is “la creme de la creme” of the club. Then, to become a legend you basically need to be over 35 years old. However, if you feel “legend” enough in your heart, the league allows 2 players below 35 to play among the true legends. Joke aside, what is good with a veteran team is that the players’ legendary selfishness is practically gone… For instance, it is frequent seeing players asking to be substituted after a few runs. In addition, it happens from time to time that a father can play with his son or daughter. These are rare moments to be cherished. In short, this is all about friendship, family, sharing and that’s why we like it
Staff (Season 2024/2025)

Congratulations on your 2023/24 season.
I am a veteran player from Sydney looking for a social game or 3 during my stay in Shanghai.
Are you guys playing at all now the season is over?

Thanks. Robert
