Whirly Ball – Jaycee Social @ Whirly Ball
Apr 18 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Whirly Ball - Jaycee Social @ Whirly Ball | Lombard | Illinois | United States

$25.00 includes court time, food, and beverage (fountain drink).

Agility. Speed. Strength. None of these qualities will be of any use in the highly-competitive world of WhirlyBall. Although it combines lacrosse, hockey and basketball with bumper cars, WhirlyBall has caused great athletes of every stripe to laugh and holler their way to a crushing defeat.

If you choose to accept the challenge, you’ll use hand-held scoops to propel whiffle balls at your scoring target. In a team of five, and with the help of a professional referee, you’ll have a bang-up time trying to outscore the competition.
