WHALLEY BALLER CLUB
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2025, our directors wanted to begin a league within a league of its own.
Our team, having experienced financial struggles at home throughout school, made activities difficult to access. We wanted to ensure that all youth have a league available to them no matter the situation.
We know the importance of youth being able to let their personalities shine. Encouraging young adults to express themselves while participating in skill clinics and games paves the way for a disciplined, confident entrance to adulthood.
