Decatur GameHawks
Instructor: Mr. Schutte and Mr. McNeil   
Our club meets once a month, usually the fourth Saturday of the month.  Club players meet to play miniatures, board, card, and strategy games.  Play is oriented to allow players to try new games through structured event and demos.  Additionally, the club maintains a large supply of games for players without materials of their own to borrow.  Students can commonly find others to play HeroScape, Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Scrabble and more at our meetings.

We are proud of the fact that the Decatur GameHawks is the only club in Decatur Township that is open to all school aged players from across the district. 

The GameHawks is the official sponsor of Decatur School Scrabble.  Decatur School Scrabble will begin its season in January 2011.  Please check back here for more information.

New flyer, new logo, same attitude!
Whew!  It's been a busy summer and start of fall, but I have finally gotten an event schedule together and coordinated with my fellow event sponsors to make sure all will run as smoothly as possible.

To that end, we're going back to basics- as we are once again looking to host a GameHawks event once a month.  These events will be held on Saturdays and will usually take place on the third or fourth one of the month.  there will no longer be an after school session for regular GameHawks members.  Club Phoenix and other programs have replaced this.  Instead, GameHawks will focus on making sure players have a fun, safe, and inexpensive place to play.  We will continue to promote fairness and fellowship within our community.

GameHawks: Scrabble will begin meeting in Late-December- early January and will still meet after school when their season begins.
