Whirlyball

What happens when you combine Lacrosse with basketball, polo and bumper-cars? Apparently, Whirlyball happens.

Available to corporations under the cherished, and endangered "team building" rubric, Whirlyball: "...involves normally sane adults driving bumper cars while using hand-held scoops to pass and propel whiffle balls at a backboard. Since WhirlyBall is a new sport, everyone will have the same skill (or lack thereof), making it all the more fun. It is played by two opposing teams of five players each. Each player rides an electrically powered machine, similar to a bumper car, called a WhirlyBug™. The object is to propel the whiffle ball into a 15 inch net in the center of a backboard situated on both ends of a 4,000 sq. ft. court."

A project of Lakefront Technologies, currently available in Chicago and Lombard, Illinois, and Cleveland, Ohio, Whirlyball represents the kind of entrepreneurial game invention genius that helps assure the future of fun. Whirl on, ye Lakefronters and all those you inspire. Whirl on.
