BBBS wiffle weekend tournament returns to Battlefords
What do you get when you combine slow pitch, dodge ball, kick ball and a plastic bat and ball?
“A whole lot of fun,” said Renee Sparling, Program Coordinator for Big Brothers, Big Sisters (BBBS) Battlefords Branch as she announced the third annual Wiffle Weekend Tournament coming to the Battleford Arena on May 6 and 7.
“Wiffleball is played like slow pitch however you use a plastic bat and ball so it’s harder to hit and you can bounce the ball off the boards, the glass or the net in the arena,” Sparling added. “Plus like dodgeball once you catch the ball you can get tagged out by tagging the runner with the ball.”
The Wiffle Weekend Tournament was a huge success last year for BBBS with teams from all over competing including a team from Saskatoon.
