Registration is open for 2022! Head on over to FBYC.org to sign up!

New this year - we’re using Clubspot for Registration and Scoring. When you go in to register there is initially only a full year option (spring and Fall) after you enter your information you have the option to only sign up for the spring. Theres also an option to get a discount if you’re a lifetime member. There’s helpful clues to guide you through the process but if you have any questions or something looks off please let us know. It’s a new system to us and we’re hoping that it makes everything quicker and easier.

See you all out on the River in only 24 days!
