Youth Hoover-Ball Championships

THANK YOU to our 2024 Presenting Sponsor West Branch Roofing!

Thank you to our 2024 Sponsors: West Branch Lions Club, Partner Home Advantage, The Honey Den, Fidelity Bank & Trust, Browns West Branch Dealership, and Barnhart's Custom Services!

Entree Fee: Donation to Whitney's Wings. This can be any amount as we do not want a registration fee to hinder any child attending. All proceeds go back into the community to put on Free Family Fun (i.e. Fall Fest in West Branch) as well as cover the expenses of putting on Hoover-Ball. The top-raising team will receive GOAT trophies!

Updated Teams will be pinned at the top of the Hoover-Ball Facebook Page! If your player needs a team, please type "Need Team" on the form when it asks for a Team Name. We will do our best to connect them with a team.

Every Youth Hoover-Ball player will receive a t-shirt! Order by July 24th to guarantee shirt size. Teams placing 1st through 3rd place will receive medals, and the team with the highest overall donation will receive trophies! Additional team donations can be made via Venmo (@WhitneysWings), Paypal (WhitneysWingsIowa@gmail.com), or check (PO Box 654 West Branch). Please reference the team name.
