Hooverball & BBQ UDATE: meet @ CFW
Hoover Ball Update: Of course, after weeks of almost unbearable heat, we have to get the coldest rainiest day of the summer for HooverBall. But we won’t let that stop us. Here’s the plan: indoor fun and games followed by a BBQ at CrossFit Winnipeg. There is even talk of an indoor version of Hoover ball – so if you signed up it’s still a go but the whole thing is going down at CFW.
On Sunday, August 15th, CrossFit Winnipeg will be hosting a Hooverball tournament and BBQ for all members and guests. If you’ve never played Hooverball, this is your chance. The game was invented by Pesident Hoover as a means to stay in shape. It is played on a volleyball court with a medicine ball and scored like tennis.
So here’s the plan:
First, we’ll play some hooverball, then we’ll have a BBQ. John Nickel has kindly agreed to provide some meat for our BBQ and Jo and Mich appear to have the rest under control. $10 per person should cover your meal, but we’ll give you the final number once we have it. Everyone is welcome, including friends and family.
The location is still to be determined. We are looking for a public park that has two volleyball courts side by side so that we can have a true tournament. If anyone has any suggestions, please post to comments.
REGISTER HERE so that we can get an approximate head count…
I’m in for sure. I coach til 1 tho. What time is this going down??
Ahhhh-I am SO in! Sounds awesome! If anything comes up that I can help with let me know.
Also, I could be mistaken but I think while running in Assiniboine Park I’ve noticed that they have volleyball courts near each other? Not positive though.
@BRad
2pm start! That way people can still get their Sunday workout in.
So far our #1 choice is Assiniboine Park but we are open to suggestions…it’s also important to have a covered picnic area to the BBQ.
I am intrigued and scared all at once! I’ll confirm, but I’m likely in.
Food and Balls? I’m in!
Look at St. Vital park too, they might have what we need.
For any of those who haven’t played hooverball before and are a little scared–not to worry, it’s loads of fun! Don’t be scared, it’ll be a blast!!!!! I’m in. Carey too!
Im excited……..lemme know if there is anything I can help out with
Everybody…the sooner you sign up the better job I can do of providing you with a GREAT QUALITY food experience.
So…please sign up sooner rather than later!
I’m in for one
Make sure to REGISTER as soon as possible!
I’m definitely in! Pascal too!!
I’m in
Lots of interest….nice! Looks like we’re gonna have great games!
I’ve registered… and I’m bringing my fiance. Hope he’s been practicing his squats.
My furbabies will also be there to join in the fun.
COME ON CFWPG’ERS! COME AND JOIN IN ON THE FUN, IT’S ALL GOOD!!!!
I`m registered. Sounds like fun. What is the Rx weight for hoover ball?
The event will be at ST-VITAL PARK (190 River Road)
Please bring LAWNCHAIRS!
Please let us know if you are bringing someone to the BBQ as they aren’t able to register online unless they are CFW Members. We’ll need to adjust the food accordingly. *So far I’ve added to the list:
- Mandy’s fiance
- Irene’s bf Carey
- Pascal (who is able to register! haha)
I’m in and hubby Reinhard is coming too!
I’m bringing BRad.
Sweet. St. Vital park is at the end of my street.
Where exactly are the volleyball courts there? Can’t recall seeing them.
Don’t forget bug spray and sunscreen!
@smokey jojo
Perfect, thanks Jo!
ps-do you need a head count of who will be attending BBQ? We were originally thinking we’d only make the game, but seems like we can make both.
Added: Erika & hubby Reinhard (for both Hooverball too??)
Motha – I couldn’t find a name for that area of the park but it’s not a huge park so ppl should end up finding us…the vball courts are located in the biggest open green space at the park, hard to miss
Maybe i’ll get crafty and make some signs with big arrows…..
SBean – yes ideal people need to let us know if they are doing just Hooverball or just the BBQ or both. Thanks!
I’m in (registered) for Hooverball & will stay for BBQ as well. See you all Sunday.
I’m also registered for Hooverball and will stay for the BBQ. Sounds like loads of fun!
