Wood County Dartball League (Ohio)

Welcome

Welcome to the Wood County Dartball League home page. 

The Wood County Dartball League is in northwest Ohio in Wood County.   Currently it consists of 12 teams from 11 different area churches and is open to any denomination.   Currently there are Church of the Nazarene, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches represented in our league.   Teams are from Bowling Green, Luckey, New Rochester, Pemberville, and Stony Ridge.  Our season typically will start in early fall and go until early spring finishing the year with a round robin tournament for all the teams.  We play on Monday nights with game time starting at 7:30.  

The league has been in existence since prior to  World War II, and 2008 marked the (click here for the story) of the first Wood County Dartball League banquet, held in 1938.  This website is meant to be a tool to share about the fun and fellowship had by all who participate in the league and to document the history of this league.  If you have any fun facts, high lights, photos from your games send them to me to be shared on the website.  The more we share the better the website will be.  Be sure to check out the photo gallery to see the fellowship had playing dartball.

Our League

There are many variations of dartball across the United States, but they all have a lot of common characteristics.  The basic scoring is based off of baseball, but the defense is completely different.  Our defense relies on our abilities to break the other person's concentration in some good natured talking and sometimes other distractions.  The boards will vary from league to league, and you can see our league board by clicking here.  Our leagues games are all played in all the participating churches - in class rooms, basements, fellowship halls etc... . The largest common factor is people getting together and having a lot of fun.

Check out the photo gallery for action shots  - Currently we have over 100 pictures up on the site from this 2009 season alone, and more pictures from last seasons tournament.  Be sure to click on the albums to see all the pictures.  There is also a slideshow feature available that will automatically take you through the photo album and you can search by name for a photo.  Most of the pictures on our site have been provided by Tom Davidson.  So we give a special thank you to Tom for his efforts.
