About Texas Wiffle®Ball
Wiffle®Ball is an alternate team sport to Baseball and Softball.
For those of you who have no idea what Wiffle®Ball is all about, basically it is played with teams numbering 2-5 players (A Pitcher, Two Outfielders and Two Designated Hitters). Scoring in the game is determined by where the ball is hit on a field where the outer boundary is 75-100 feet from home plate. There is no base running. A strike zone is used to determine the count.
Advantages to fielding a Wiffle®Ball team include -
1. Fun activity where anyone can play! You do not need to be a professional player to join in.
2. Costs are minimal. No specialized equipment is needed, just the traditional Wiffle®Ball gear(Or specialized bats and balls available from various sources that recognize the emerging market for these items). Softball teams need to be sponsored and equipped which will run well over $400 for a team. With Wiffle®Ball all you need is a bat and ball and play in a league or tournament for $20 - $50.
3. Team sizes are smaller so you do not need to get 9+ players to form a team. Along with the lower cost of getting a team together, small businesses and smaller community groups can get a team formed. Softball teams need a minimum of nine dedicated members to play. Wiffle®Ball can be played with a minimum of two players!
Hopefully reading this will get you excited and wanting to form a team in your area. If you are from Austin or anywhere in Texas we look forward to hearing from you and playing in our leagues and tournaemnts.
