What is whirlyball?
Whirlyball is a team sport that combines elements of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars. Yes, you read that correctly. Imagine driving a bumper car while you catch balls in your “scoop” then lob them overhead into basketball hoops while the opposing team is trying to steal the ball from you and bump you out of the way. Sound fun? Crazy? Competitive? Whirlyball is all of that and more. That’s just one of the fun things to do in Ann Arbor with your Summer Discovery friends.
