altGolden Stick Wiffleball League has been running leagues on the North Shore for over a decade.  Since 2007 GSWL has hosted its annual youth event for Danvers' Rec Department.  Averaging over a hundred kids from local parks, each of the past five years, this year's July event topped 140 young wifflers.  These players, literally brought in by bus, are responsible for some of Golden Stick's top moments in its now eleven year history!

 

Now, starting the week of August 20, 2012, we're proud to announce that we'll be kicking off a new era in GSWL.  We're launching an actual four city youth circuit on the North Shore!  Teams of local players ages 9-14 will form, entering in one of four city level events the week of August 20-23.

 

These 1 night events will be held in Hamilton, Danvers, Salem, and Beverly, MA.  **The champion of each city level event will then be invited to play the winners of the other three cities at the Golden Stick Junior Championships.  See below for more info.

 

Start times may vary but each event is slated to last from 3:30pm-7:30pm with elimination rounds beginning approx. 5:30.  A more detailed schedule will be emailed to you prior to your event.
