The introduction of Woodball marks the dawn of a fresh, highly accessible backyard sport in North America.

The high-profile launch event was graced by the leadership team of the Woodball Association of Canada, including Vice President Anurag Srivastava, President Jagdeep Sancha, Treasurer Rohit Lath, and General Secretary Muzamil Ahmed. MP Amarjeet Gill’s ceremonial first shot set an electric tone for an afternoon celebrating community engagement and active living.
