What is the Family Ball Tournament?
The Family Ball Tournament is a local group of families who gather each year to play in a fun family ball tournament to raise money for charity. Our tournament has been run for more than 30 years, and we are entering our 31st. We are very proud to have raised over $200,000 for various charities over the years.2023 Dates
