Catchball (15+)

Catchball is a highly successful social-sport start-up from Israel and is globally recognized. It encourages women to come together as a team to socialize, be active, and have fun.

Catchball is a team sport for women, similar to volleyball, set up and played on a volleyball court. The object of the game is to pass the ball over the net in order to ground it on the opponent’s court to earn a point, and to prevent the same effort by the other team.
Each team can touch the ball up to three times on their side of the net, before returning it to the opponent’s court.

In partnership with Maccabi Canada, the Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA delivers Catchball as a structured sports program for all women, emphasizing well-being, socializing, inclusion and fair play. The foundation of our Catchball program is inclusive and welcomes participants of all skill levels and abilities.

Canada Catchball Association is the official representative of the International Catchball Federation in Canada. We believe that Catchball has the ability to unify communities, empower women, and increase women’s participation in sports.

New players will make new friends, learn to catch, throw, spike the ball, while laughing and having fun.

Drop-in option available if space allows.
