Ohh man this weekend is busy for me I’ll be traveling back uo from SC this weekend. Came down for a family thing last night. I can ping the club facebook group for you.
sure!
Was a busy month
Updating the events page. August will be a bit busy too as we ramp up for va states.
September I think we are going to focus into just va states and skip club at the library.
We had a decent July meet up and a few new folks.
The library fest table was massive. So many folks stopped by I’m excited for when the library gets me pictures from the event to share.
The FANHS conference was interesting too
We honored Tommy Reyes legacy a bit which was nice.

Hi Brandon - I registered for the Sept 19 event but haven’t received any confirmation or link to load music. I sent an email as well as we want to make sure we get it all in on time. Any advice? Thanks!

Hey I meant to respond to your email this morning but got busy with the family. I’ll respond now
Saturday we had a workshop at cascades library. Had about 20 people show up and learn to yoyo. 1 was a returning member which was cool. Hoping that and the flyers o put around local community board in the area will drive more hyper local word of mouth and interest to va states this September.
I have a bunch of stuff to get sorted for va states but it’s coming together. I started a new job that has me commuting into DC daily so I may be a bit slow to respond as I adjust to my new schedule

Been working on something silly for a bit
I’ve been doing yoyo workshops at schools this past year and a question I’ve been asked is for learning stuff for classes to do. So I compiled this set of pages for learning both how to yoyo and what you want to know but educational stuff too. Let me know if you see anything glaringly wrong

Ohh do I have time? No rarely. But I volunteered to build my son’s Cub Scout troop’s website and finally finished it. Then my wife asked if I could do the same for the Girl Scout troop for my daughter.
after two websites I figured why not just make it a template and open source the whole thing so i don’t have to build another one.
so here’s my silly weekend project and also to make it YoYo related I added a hard amples:
If I get dragged into soccer coaching again I’ll add sports ball stuff this fall

heres a few other things I’ve been building
Club site template — landing page, meetup info, trick guides, photo gallery. Pretty much everything a club needs to exist online. https://github.com/dmvthrowers/yoyoclub-template
Contest site template — schedule, divisions, sponsors, results pages, all based on what we ran for our state contest. Still being worked on, so expect some rough edges, but the bones are solid. https://github.com/dmvthrowers/yoyo-contest-template
Player map template — interactive map for plotting players, clubs, and shops. Privacy-friendly, no accounts needed. https://github.com/dmvthrowers/yoyo-map-template
They’re all static sites, deploy free on GitHub Pages in a few clicks.
