What is FlutterBall?

FlutterBall™ originated in the summer of 1986 in Fenwick, Ontario, Canada. It was created in order to make baseball accessible to individuals when a full player roster was not available. Many versions of StrikeOut, BoxBall and Wiffleball are currently being played throughout North America, however, most lack the strategy, challenge and excitement of FlutterBall™.

The focal point of FlutterBall™  was based on finding the most realistic and versatile gameball known to man. After countless trials and errors, the FlutterBall™ was designed to be the official game ball. It is very similar to a real baseball because it is the same size, can be thrown just as fast as one and when pitched properly, it curves, rises et cetera. On the other hand it is soft so it does not injure and travels a maximum distance of up to 115-30 feet. 

Combine this, with a uniquely designed FlutterBall™  playing field consisting of unparalleled dimensions and night lighting system, a carpeted batter's box featuring the FlutterBall™  Strike Out Zone with a special strike out pocket,  as well as raised pitcher's mound.....exemplifies just how much FlutterBall™  has evolved into the ultimate adult baseball game.

 

 

QUESTION:    How long has your league been in existence? Is there a semi-pro feeder league?   Greg, Toronto

Our great sport was first created in 1986. Before 1998 our league consisted of 28 semi-pro teams in four divisions. Due to the dominance of three teams, a break-away pro-league was formed in the spring of 1998 to showcase the top FlutterBall talent on a national stage. The remaining teams still compete in our feeder league, and players are leigible to be drafted into the pro-league each spring.

"Toby" was exiled by the league prior to the 2001 season, and has not participated in a league sanctioned game since then. While previous reports had him living "Down Under," new reports suggest that he may be back in Canada, and could soon attempt to be re-instated.
