The first annual McCall Ball tournament was held in 2017 and it was considered, by all measures, a huge success! The McCall Rotary Club, in partnership with McCall Parks and Recreation, organized and presented McCall Ball, a 3-person, fun-to-play, co-ed ‘softball’ game. All proceeds went to the McCall Rotary Foundation, earmarked for scholarships, grants, and funding for local charities and non-profit programs.
This year's competition will be even bigger and better! McCall Ball 2018 will be held at McCall's Golden Glove Fields on August 25th. Save the date!
McCall Ball is an easy to learn and fun to play co-ed game. Adapted from a 3-person softball game in San Diego, McCall Ball uses a mush ball and plastic bat to eliminate injuries and maximize fun! There are no bases in McCall Ball and therefore, no running bases! Yay! The object is to hit the ball into a rectangular field without the opposition catching it. If they don’t catch it, the batter scores a run. A four inning games typically takes about 20 minutes to play.
Teams will be competing for lots of wonderful raffle and team prizes donated by our local businesses. Last year we had over $2,000 in prizes! This year we hope to see a few teams from District 5400 come up and challenge our locals. Who knows, maybe we will have a perpetual Rotary Team Trophy to any Rotary team who thinks they are good enough to challenge us! Come on up, help us raise funds, and Ride for the Brand!
