About
Much as the BCS Football Championship game rotated from one Bowl to another during it's history, The 35th Annual Free Throwers Fling will serve as this year's 33rd Annual USBA National Championships! First held in August 1980, the Free Throwers is the longest running and highest average attendance boomerang event in the world outside of Australia! This will be the record 6th time the Delaware tournament has been host site for the US Nationals.
In 1982 the USBA was formed under the shade trees by the Polo Fields in Washington DC and Aussie Bob Burwell won the inaugural event! Chet Snouffer won in 1983 and then Aussie Dennis Maxwell staged the coup again for the Aussies at the 1984 event. The 1984 Nationals came at the conclusion of the US-Australia Test Re-Match, also won by the Australian Team! (It was sweet revenge for the USA winning the first ever International Team Challenge on Aussie soil in 1981) This year's nationals will once again set new precedents, as we host it in conjunction with the YMCA of Delaware, on their flat, manicured soccer fields. Participants will have full access to the adjacent Y showers, pool, hot tub, sauna, exercise facilities and more as part of the registration package! Family members in attendance will also be able to use the Y at greatly reduced weekend pass rate! |
