The following changes have been made: 1. Updates to hand checking rules 2. Simplification of goal hanging and offsides 3. Addition of “barging” to clarify contact rules 4. A new type of re-start called a roll-out 151

Bayou Oaks Fruit Hogs @fruithogs.bsky.social · 10/06/2026We have more bananas in our neighborhood than there are in their whole state! 110
Bayou Oaks Fruit Hogs @fruithogs.bsky.social · 10/06/2026What if the fruit in fruit hog was a banana? 110
Bayou Oaks Fruit Hogs @fruithogs.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Due to low turnout, tonight’s pickup game is CANCELLED. Reach out if you want to play with us in the future! We’re always looking for more players! 000
Bayou Oaks Fruit Hogs @fruithogs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Both backs should be 5’10” or shorter- the big back would be 260, the loose back would be 200. For a half forward, height doesn’t matter but we’d want at least 230 pounds, and for a full forward, maybe 6’4” and 220? But really any body can play, and talent, effort, and teamwork are more important 120

Donate if you can, share, and help Buffalo keep its teams. Perhaps in the future we can talk the club into starting an oarball department too…😉 052
Bayou Oaks Fruit Hogs @fruithogs.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The season is coming up and we’ve moved! Our home games and pickup games will be played at Payne Park in Sarasota this year, at least to start. We’ll always love Whitfield, but we need the lights and the seats at the new ground 000
