After its conception last year by club founder Kevin Larmon ‘23, Cornhole Club, a club centered around bean bags (an alternate name for the sport), still offers interested students opportunities to socialize after school every other Tuesday.

“[During] Thanksgiving, my whole family [was] just sitting around a fire watching this cornhole championship because it was just on, it was really random, and I was like ‘Man maybe I could make a club; that would be kinda cool,’” Larmon said. “It’s just a club for kids after school to meet each other and play bags, nothing special, just a good time.”

The club’s focus typically centers around having fun and meeting new people, but if the desire is there, a certain competitive spirit can arise, club sponsor Lucy Hoffman said.

“I enjoy getting to know the kids,” Hoffman said. “Of course there are kids who come everytime, but there is typically always a new face that I’ll meet. [Their] competitive nature comes out.”

The club had some trouble garnering the attention of underclassmen, a problem it tried to remedy via Co-Curricular Night on Aug. 26 and a hope to fix this issue at the upcoming Future Freshman night on Nov. 14, Larmon said.

“We put posters up and [went to] Co-Curricular Night where all the freshmen come to sign for clubs,” Larmon said. “We made it big there and [tried to] put posters around [to] try and get the word out.”

As the club takes place at NC, it makes it difficult to accommodate younger members, he said.

“[We] try and get the underclassmen involved a bit more [but] it’s hard since we have two campuses,” Larmon said. 

The club continues to accept new members with open arms, Larmon said.

“Anyone is welcome, especially because I know a lot of kids play sports or have clubs so if you can’t come one week you can always come the next week,” Hoffman said. “You [aren’t] kicked out if you can’t come to meetings.”
