W2B Spotlight: Indiana WIFFLE League

/ milzy26 / 3 Comments

“Indiana WIFFLE League provides a chance for kids ages 9-19 to enjoy the sport of WIFFLE ball. We have our tournaments and league in summer. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to get outside and enjoy their summer break. We are also a very competitive league. Last year we hosted 70+ games, this year looking for 100+. We have also gained 60+ sponsors!”

Last year, Indiana WIFFLE League was formed in Brazil, Indiana. It all started in Brayden Goff’s backyard so he and his friends would have something to do for the summer.

It turned out better than expected with 70+ games being played. The games were streamed live on YouTube and the league reached over 40,000 people on TikTok. One video of their field (before it was completed) has 39,000+ views by itself!

In 2023, they’re expecting these numbers to continue growing. A few ways Indiana WIFFLE League will be improving is by gaining sponsors, having jerseys for each team, reconstructing a nicer / more professional field, and streaming the games with a better view.

Indiana WIFFLE League wants everyone to have a chance at some fun this summer. If you or anyone you know is interested in sponsorships for the 2023 season, contact Brayden at 812-870-9532.

Indiana WIFFLE League’s 2023 opening day is scheduled for May 27th.

Will the Nipple Crew be able to repeat their 9-1 championship season? Only time will tell.

“Old Line WIFFLE® Club was founded in 2020 for the purpose of playing competitive, fast pitch WIFFLE® ball.

Club founder Brian Griffiths recruited Jim Braswell, Jeremy Davis, Craig Gajewski, and Jeremy Davis to form a team to play in the inaugural United WIFFLE® ball 2020 National Championship Tournament in York, PA. After competing in this event, the founders decided to continue to play competitive WIFFLE® ball and to grow the sport in Maryland.

The Old Line WIFFLE® Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation for the purposes of promoting the Old Line WIFFLE® League, playing in competitive national tournaments, and promoting the growth of WIFFLE® Ball.

Old Line WIFFLE® Club has created the Old Line League for the purpose of forming a competitive league in Maryland. The 2022 goal is for a minimum of four teams to participate in a 12-game Championship season. Players from the league will be eligible to selected to represent Old Line WIFFLE® Club at the 2022 NWLA Championship and the 2022 United WIFFLE® ball National Championship tournament.“

With the original opening day having to be postponed due to weather back in March, the inaugural Old Line WIFFLE season is finally upon us and took place this past Saturday in Anne Arundel County, Maryland!

GAME DATES:

  1. March 19th starting at 12 PM (Weeks 1 & 2) * POSTPONED *
  2. April 30th starting at 12 PM (Weeks 3 & 4)
  3. June 11th starting at 12 PM (Week 5, Playoffs, & Championship)

Five teams will compete to take home the title.

Out of these five teams, WIFFLE House wins our vote for best name and WIFFLE While We Work wins our vote for best logo.

Not knowing too much about the players on each team, our early favorite to win is Riptide. Having a very experienced player like Jerry Hill in a new league should pay immense dividends.

Here’s a look at the standing after week 1:

’93 Phillies WIFFLE Derby

Not only did the Philadelphia Phillies add a sick WIFFLE ball field to their stadium this past off season, but just a little over a week ago, they brought in a few players from the 1993 National League Championship team for a WIFFLE ball home run derby! I just so happened to catch it on TV last night and wanted to share it with my fellow WIFFLE-ers. Enjoy!

PS, we’re still hoping to get a W2B vs. Phillies charity game going… only time will tell.

Lately there have been some viral videos going around about Golden Stick WIFFLE Ball, which just so happens to be the league that we’ve been playing in since 2010. In a video released by Cheddar, just this past Friday, Way Too Beautiful‘s own Adam Milsted and Ian Crosby make a couple short appearances. The clips they’re in are from the 2011 Yard Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada and the 2013 Fast Pitch Open in Savannah, Georgia.

All in all, this is just another step towards getting WIFFLE on the map! Keep up the good work GSWL. The more viral videos, the better for the sport!

We’ve posted the video below… enjoy!
