 Mushball
Mushball is a volleyball game
played in the mud by opposing teams. The first Saturday in August each year
the LFFA sponsors a Mushball tournament to raise funds for projects our
organization supports.
We have about 40
teams enter each year and some come from up north in British Columbia,
Canada and as far south as Monroe. Competition is serious but a lot of fun.
General volleyball
rules apply but there are a few special considerations.
