Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you ever wanted to know about the game that is the most fun you can have going 4 miles per hour, WhirlyBall!

What is WhirlyBall? 

WhirlyBall is a game that is a combination of lacrosse, basketball, and hockey that is played while riding in souped-up bumper cars, which we call WhirlyBugs™. It’s the most fun you can have going 4 miles per hour!

How do you play WhirlyBall? 

Two teams of five players face off against each other on a WhirlyBall court. Each player uses a scoop to pick up a Wiffle ball from their WhirlyBug™ and either pass to their teammates or shoot at the goal. Each team’s objective is to score a goal from a hanging target (think of a basketball hoop with no rim). Each game lasts a total of ten minutes. The object of the game is to score more goals for your team than the opposing team. The team with the highest score after ten minutes wins. If you have more than ten players, no worries! You can play multiple games during your reserved court time and you can rotate players between games.
