Wifflefest
Wifflefest is an Ashland tradition. It is simple backyard baseball, except with 4 players instead of nine, and wiffleballs instead of baseballs. The four players are a pitcher, catcher, and two outfielders. Teams from all around will gather to compete in various tournaments which play on fields that have been meticulously built to 1/3 to 1/4 the scale of actual major league baseball fields.
Where Is wifflefest?
Wiffleball tournaments are becoming more popular. But the official home of Wifflefest is at Southview Grace Brethren Church in Ashland, Ohio. The entire church gets involved to help. It is headed up by the Youth Group and the Missions commission.
Who can Play?
There is a division for just about everybody. And this year with the new family tournament, even more people can enjoy the games. Teams consist of 4 to 5 players and can be any combination of genders. Divisions will be made according to the age and/or grade of the oldest member on the team.
How much does it cost?
Southview’s Wifflefest was designed to be a low cost event for the whole family. Cost per team is $25 if the registration is turned in before June 27th. Forms received after June 27th will be $30. Walk-ups will be $35 per team. Southview does its best to accommodate as many teams as possible, however, space is limited and teams are placed in the tournaments according to when we receive their registration. When you send the information please also include a $10 deposit to insure your team a position. The deposit will go toward your tournament entrance fee.
