NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The New Orleans Saints and Dudley DeBosier Injury Lawyers announced their annual Battle of the Branches competition, scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center. They shared that this year’s event brings together teams from the Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.
The competitive event will feature 10 teams participating in an action-packed day that blends athletic prowess with tactical teamwork. The competition is structured around two main components: a series of individual skill challenges and a flag football tournament. Service members will demonstrate their abilities across various athletic events including:
- Tug of war competitions testing team strength and coordination
- 40-yard dash trials requiring speed and explosiveness
- Long ball throwing contests assessing accuracy and power
- Field goal kicking challenges on a professional practice field
- Additional team-based physical challenges
Five Saints legends will be joining the event: Patrick Swilling, Garrett Hartley, Tyrone Hughes, Greg Fassitt, and Michael Lewis. In addition, the winning team will receive access to a VIP tent at the Saints training camp this summer.
“The Battle of the Branches has become one of our favorite annual events,” said Chad Dudley, managing partner at Dudley DeBosier Injury Lawyers. “Watching these incredible service members compete and connect with each other is truly inspiring. It’s an honor for us to support our military community and provide a platform where they can demonstrate the same dedication and teamwork that makes them exceptional in their service to our country.”
Invited guests are to join the 150 players that are expected across ten teams.Â
