WhirlyBall History and Booking
Whirlyball was invented in Utah. Stan Magnum saw his son hit a can with a stick as he drove a golf cart. Magnum modified a bumper car to create whirlyball. Players use scoops to pass a wiffle ball and shoot at a circular target. A score is a “whirlic”.
Our group booked 2.5 hours of court time. We split into teams and took turns playing. Wear loose clothes you can move in. Use the scoop instead of hands to move the ball. Kids need reminders but have a blast. Bumper car crashes make it entertaining!
