Description of BlongoBall Complete Game Set
Physical education and classroom teachers can use this game to teach math, literature and hand-eye coordination to kids of all ages and abilities. Players take turns tossing the BlongBalls at the opposite goal trying to wrap them on one of the three bars. Each bar scores different points while points are subtracted when a players balls are knocked off by their opponent. Set includes 2 goals (3'H x 2'W), 2 sets of 3 outdoor balls and instructions.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.

Customer Review: Great outdoor game

If you can get past the safety issue of golf balls being thrown...this is a great outdoor game. I have 4 boys and this is a great team game for them to play. Highly recommend it and nice and compact for storage.Customer Review: Hope Grand Children will enjoy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased the same game last year for 2 of my other Grandchildren. It has been well used and enjoyed. So this year I tried looking to see if there was something better out there. Could not find an improvement so I bought the same one.Customer Review: blongo ball

Our family really enjoys this game. It fits all ages and provides a lot of fun for all.Customer Review: Most cost-efficient for quality ladder golf/hillbilly golf
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I spent HOURS reading all of the reviews for various ladder golf brands. They varied considerably.
I eventually decided to pay a little bit more for the blongo ball, and think it was a good decision.
It is pretty easy to put together, my husband did it in no time.
The balls are very sturdy. We've gotten them stuck in trees and power lines, and they still are in pristine condition. They are well-built.
The stand itself is what it is. It's made of pipes. It's not extremely strong. We laid a few bricks on the base (and rocks), to keep it from tipping over.
We play with a very strong throw, so we have managed to crack one of the connector pipes. It's still held together. Tape'll probably fix it completely.
Just keep in mind that you'll need to weigh down the base... ALso, trim your trees! We found this out the hard way.
Overall, it's a great product. relatively portable. We've taken it tailgating.
Customer Review: Fun game!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This game has gained popularity with the tailgate crowd, but it's also so fun in the backyard or at the beach! It's a total crowd pleaser. You will not be disappointed!
