Jock-A-Thon!!

Last night, Monday February 4, 2013 Cheer New York attended the 7th annual Jock-A-Thon Ball Gay Sports Party & Time Square Social Presented by TheMenEvent and Edge Networks at Dave & Buster's in Time Square. 

Cheer New York, along with other participating NYC teams came out to recruit and gain new athletic supporters. Hundreds of men and women came out to meet the jocks, and perhaps, end up on a team! This event has been a staple of the gay sports community and has been an excellent way to mix and mingle with all team members and those interested in learning more about gay sports in NYC.

With our upcoming tryouts, less than a day away, this event was a great way for us to gain some last minute recruits for this week's auditions.

We had a blast getting to know some of the new teams in NYC and reconnecting with long standing friends (Front Runners NY, Team New York Aquatics, and Big Apple Dodgeball just to name a few). We also gave away some great prizes for those that participated in our raffle- congrats to the winners of the theater tickets and the North Face jacket!

A big thank you to everyone that made it out last night, we had so much fun meeting you! We hope to see some of you tomorrow night (or Sunday afternoon) to audition for the remainder of our 2013 season! Don't forget to checkout out website for official details: www.cheerny.org

CNY Rocks the Jocks!

Cheer New York dropped by the The 3rd Annual Jock-A-Thon (Co-sponsored by the Men Event, Out of Bounds and Team NY) Wednesday Jan 28, to rub elbows with their fellow jocks. Hundreds of GLBT athletes convened at Dave and Busters in Times Square to network, recruit and just enjoy cocktails and camaraderie. Representatives from CNY got the chance to catch up with our friends from the Gay Hockey Association, the Gotham Knights rugby team, the New York Ramblers soccer team, Gotham Volleyball, Team New York Aquatics, Metropolitan Tennis Group, the Front Runners and so many more.

Diego T., Brian W. and Scott W. made cameo appearances, on their way to Wednesday night's practice. They left alumni Teddy A. and Manny C. in charge of representing the team. They collected the numbers of more than a dozen potential recruits to CNY!
