Bay Area Foosball is taking a break

Posted on March 15, 2020 by brian

As many of you know, coronavirus is spreading rapidly in the US, and the SF Bay Area is one of the hot spots. Last weekend we started canceling some foosball events, and this week we made the decision to cancel everything.

If you can’t stand being away from foosball, watch some great matches on the Inside Foos YouTube channel.

It’s also a great time to get in some practice. Find a table, clean the handles, and do some drills! Chase Pennell’s Road to Pro series and Zeke Cervantes’ UnrealFoos tutorials are both excellent. Ryan Knapton’s NextLevelFoosball channel has a really well organized set of drills on foosball fundamentals.

Want advice and tips? Post in the SF Foos facebook group!

We will post here and on facebook when we start to play again. Stay safe everyone, take care of your family, friends, and neighbors.
