    Have you guys heard of this yet? It sounds like fun.

    A Whirlyball team consists of five players. Each player rides a Whirlybug and carries a scoop, with which he or she can pass the ball, usually a wiffleball, to teammates and shoot at the goal, a circular target above the two opposite ends of the court.

    Players are not allowed to leave their cars or touch the ball with their hands. Other than that, almost anything is allowed, within certain bounds of safety, such as you are not allowed to ram a player from behind (4 point penalty). Games played by veterans at a National level can get particularly vicious, although it is extremely rare for an injury to occur.

    The scoop is actually a Trac Ball racquet.

    This cracked me up:
    "Celebrity actor and insurance spokesman Wilford Brimley is perhaps the sport's most famous enthusiast. He recently had a Whirlyball court built in his Utah home.[citation needed] He has also created a Whirlyball diversion program for at-risk Mormon youth"

    And no, this isn't a poke at mormons...its a poke at Mr. Brimley.
