Description of Blongo Ball Complete Game Set
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. The perfect tailgate game or a competitive contest for a summer lawn party, the Blongo® Family Fun BlongoBall Set includes 2 BlonGoals (racks) and 2 sets of three BlongoBalls. The object is to toss the two BlongoBall, two-piece golf balls attached to rope, on to one of the bars attached to the BlonGoal for a certain number of points.Liven up your camping trips and family reunions with this full BlongoBall set. Appropriate for use both outdoors and indoors, BlongoBall combines elements from bocce, horseshoes, croquet, and other lawn sports, but adds a unique twist: rather than throwing a ball or a shoe, you throw a BlongoBall, which is technically two small spheres connected by a thin stretch of rope. The goal is to wrap your BlongoBall around one of the horizontal bars of the BlonGoal, which stands 25 feet away (or less if kids are playing). Players score one, two, or three points with a successful throw, depending on which bar the BlongoBall grabs. And the game ends when one person or team reaches 21 points exactly. You can even add a bit of defensive strategy to the game by trying to knock your opponent's BlongoBalls off the bars.
BlongoBall is fun for kids and families, but it's also great for physical education classes, teambuilding games, or even as a rehab tool in a therapy setting. The BlongoBall set comes with two BlonGoals and two sets of BlongoBalls. Players can also purchase such accessories as extra BlongoBalls, a carrying bag, and a portable score tower.
About BlongoBall
Mike Long and his wife, Roberta, were early retirees who spent much of their time fishing, hunting, rafting, boating, and RVing. When Mike was introduced to the rudimentary concept of BlongoBall, he decided that the game merited serious development and investigation. Mike built the prototype game and used all of his friends as test subjects. BlongoBall was tested on the beaches of Lake Powell, on raft trips on the Salmon River, on the beaches of San Diego, and in parks and campgrounds form the southwest to the northwest. In every location, passersby would stop and interrupt the games to find out where they could buy BlongoBall. The enthusiastic response encouraged Mike to continue to refine the rules and goal configurations.
After months of design, research and testing, Mike applied for and received a patent for BlongoBall, which has been enthusiastically received by kids and adults of all ages since its release. Founded in 2004, BlongoBall is located in Spokane, Washington.
Sports reviews of Blongo Ball Complete Game Set
Customer Review: Lot's of Fun and Easy to Play
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We purchased this game for our assisted living residents. It has been lots of fun. It takes very little skill to compete but it is a really fun game. We used it at our staff picnic as well and the staff also enjoyed playing. It is easy to play and involves little skill but the game can be lots of fun when played in teams.
The game was is easy to assemble and disassemble. It arrived quickly. We had no complaints.
Customer Review: Great product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My husband and I bought this ladderball set after reading the positive reviews online, and we were not disappointed. It is easy to assemble and sturdy. We had a lot of fun playing it this summer in both the yard and on the beach. I would recommend buying the Blongo bag (which comes separately) because it is not easy to repack the box once you have taken it out and the cardboard box will definitely fall apart over time.Customer Review: A wonderful game for the whole family !!!

This is a wonderful family game. This particular one (Blongo Ball) is very sturdy... I have played on other manufacturers Blongo Ball (also known as ladder ball) and they did not hold up well. This one is very sturdy and the harder balls make the game much more enjoyable than the softer foam balls offered by other manufacturers. We play this every evening we can with the kids.Customer Review: Awsome

This game is fun for all ages. My kids are 19 & 21 and they along with their friends love it. We have had friends over with kids as young as 4 playing it, to my mother who is 80! We have tried other "ladder ball" knock-offs but end up disappointed -- the balls rip off the string or the "ladder" is not balanced well enough to handle the toss. Blongo Ball is the only way to go!Customer Review: blongo ball was a hit at the beach
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got the Blongo ball to take to the beach with us and it was a hit. I purchased a cheaper version elsewhere (different name brand) that broke the first day so I returned it got this sturdier, slightly bigger version and we are happy with it. I wish it folded up like the other one, but I guess you can't have everything! this comes apart easily is worth the extra money.
