2019 will be NOISE’s 11th season. We’re proud to be Madison’s top-level, nationally competitive mixed team. We will continue our work from 2018 of building a team culture of accountability, trust, and compassion because we believe that by establishing and playing within this culture, we will put ourselves in the best possible position to win games and be proud of our team everyone on it.
This year NOISE will be a part of the Top Select Flight and look to compete at the highest level and the most competitive national tournaments. Listen (Look) for us during the 2019 Triple Crown Tour as we enter our second decade as Madison’s top mixed team.
