The 40th Over the Hill Bowl, a tag football FUNdraiser for the HER Shelter, will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, on The Signet Center's grounds, off of Bells Mill Road, in Great Bridge. The Over the Hill Bowl is a fun, co-ed, self-regulated tag (not tackle) football event, benefitting Help & Emergency Response, Inc. - HER Shelter, which organization primarily serves Chesapeake and Portsmouth, and provides advocacy and resources (including emergency housing) to survivors and communities affected by domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking. It also provides an emergency shelter for homeless families in Portsmouth. QR CODE FOR REGISTRATION ON THE HER SHELTER'S WEBSITE IS ON THE POSTED FLYER.
The Over the Hill Bowl is similar to playing football with your friends and family at a get-together (no experience is needed; you just have to want to have fun). After going over the rules and performing The Star-Spangled Banner with kazoos, each team plays two 50-minute games (each with a half time break), with 8 players on the field (or even less, depending on the teams' roster sizes and the availability of substitute players). Water and hot beverages will be provided outside, and, after the games are done, there will be lunch, raffles, and awards (MVP, Cheerleader, Bonehead Play of the Day, etc.).
If you want to play but do not want to organize a team, you can register as an individual.
