Wiffle Hurling

It's Kottke day at Scientific Pornography. Since my readers mostly read Kottke, this won't be new. Nevertheless, I was really intrigued by this new sport created two years ago called wiffle hurling. It uses the wiffle ball and bat as it's primary pieces, but is played like soccer. You appear to have to dribble the ball on your bat to move with the ball. You can also pass by hitting it. You can pick the ball up with your hand, but I think to have it leave your body, it has to be hurled with the wiffle bat. Anyway, it looks fun, and it seems like the kind of thing you could easily get your youth group to do. Church youth groups seem to be the early adopters of all things related to weird games.
