Where family, friends & competition meet.
Toss shoes for ringers, fun and sport. Better yet, pitch in tournaments that make a difference for a cause.
Mission: Come “Pitch for a Cause” and help community agencies that support youth, families, or other worthy causes.
Join us and introduce kids to the sport of horseshoe pitching.
Let’s work with parks, and community members to preserve horseshoe courts.
Together we can highlight horseshoe pitching and connect CA pitchers.
Backyard slinging
Slinging shoes at a park? Slinging in a backyard? Slinging at a big tournament? It doesn’t matter, you’re not counting ringers - you’re there to hammer out the score in your favor while going for the win, every-time.
Backyard is about winning the championship, bragging rights, and taking the cash and prizes.
When you’re slinging backyard, expect loud music, maybe a band playing, or a dog or a child dashing across the court, or someone using the backboard to hold their cups while they pour shots. The atmosphere can be like an NFL game where the fans are doing all they can to distract you. Ringers and nerves of steel are needed to capture the win.
