Photo/Video Social Media Release
The Stoa Marketing Committee would like to feature our tournament on social media in a short video reel. We will have a photographer onsite taking short video clips to use in our reel. This will be a fun way to remember Cactus Clash and to attract new families to Stoa. If you would like to opt out of the videos, please email the tournament director.
