With such a lack of availability for those interested in the tournament, the 1st annual Red White and Blue Tournament will be postponed until the summer of 2017. Yes, that means the August 14th, 2016 tournament is CANCELLED. We will be working very hard to prepare the league for its first season next summer. Don't forget to help us promote by following us on twitter and Instagram, as well as liking us on Facebook. Don't forget to share and retweet posts. We appreciate everyone who has been in contact with us, and hope you'll be prepared for the coming summer!!
It's happening!! We are extremely excited to announce the first annual tournament is going to be held at Jaycee Park in Sterling Heights. Tournament will be August 14th at noon. That's 12:00 pm next Sunday, so register ASAP! Registration closes Saturday August 13th at 11:59 pm EST. Come out and enjoy a day loaded with some friendly competition. The tournament will ensure at least two games for every team. For teams who are waiting for the field, games like cornhole, washer toss, and ladder ball will be available to play! We will have waters and hot dogs for everyone too. 1st Place will receive a cash prize return from a portion of the $20 entry fee per team. See you next weekend!!
Also, keep an eye out for a few new videos on our youtube channel, including a tutorial on how to pitch those wiffleballs the BLW way! Remember to practice, and Good Luck! Hello south east MI wiffleball community! With such a slow development and busy schedules that we have, it has been tough to promote the league as much as we would have liked to. However, we have a second wind up our sleeves and are going to be trying as hard as we can to get at least the Red White and Blue Tournament in line for early July. We feel that this would be a great event for us to spark some true interest in BLW. If all goes well we could even squeeze in a shortened season! You can register for the tournament by clicking the button on the home page. Keep spreading the word, and dont forget to like us on facebook, follow us on twitter, and check out our youtube channel!
It's been two years since we tried this last, but lets hope the third time is the charm! We're trying to promote the league as much as possible, and have been getting some gentle interest for the summer of 2016. Realistically, we only need 4 teams to get the first league going and hopefully make a name for ourselves in the process. That's only 16 total guys if you think about it. If all goes well, the preliminary meeting with all the team managers will be held Sunday May 29th, or Saturday June 4th, with games beginning on on Sunday June 5th. Sign up your team or you can even sign up alone as a free agent on the home page. Keep spreading the word to anyone you know! Feel free to contact us. See you on the grass soon!
Well, as you can see, the league is not going to happen this year. :( Unfortunately, we were unable to spark enough local interest to get enough teams to sign up. However, we are planning to run a wiffleball tournament this coming August 17th! It may be that people were worried they wouldn't be able to commit to a league, so we are hoping that this will be a great alternative for this year. We hope that this will spark more interest for a league next year. Other details are shown on the home page, just click the "home" tab above. Please spread the word and sign up! If you might know a good place to put up a flyer, email us and we can send you a copy of the flyer. See you in August!
Ok guys, if we can get the sign ups rolling the plan is to have the pre-season meeting this weekend on sunday. Location is TBD. Money and all forms will be due NO LATER THAN your team's first scheduled game, but ideally we would like to have them by the prelimnary meeting. Hope to see you all then!!
