Liberty Lake Spring Community Ga-Ga Tournament March 22

If you're looking for some good, dirty fun for your competitive kids, check out Liberty Lake's Community Ga-Ga Tournament on Sunday, March 22- open to the public and free, starting at 12 noon.

"Ga-Ga is by far our most popular sport at Liberty Lake, and as a result, dozens of Ga-Ga pits have been built at local schools the past 20 years because of the passion of our campers!" says Liberty Lake owner/director, Andy Pritikin. It's true, Ga-Ga is a unique craze, and we're not taking about Lady Gaga, we're talking about the ball game that Pritikin describes as, "a cross between dodgeball, hand ball, and gladiator- because the last person standing is the winner!" 

Ga-Ga was originally an Israeli handball game, that crossed the ocean to the USA via Jewish and then secular sleepaway camps. When Pritikin became a full-time camp professional in the late 1990s, he saw this uniquely engaging game, and introduced the sport to the day camp world. "We currently have six Ga-Ga courts at Liberty Lake, and one of our most popular special events is our summer Ga-Ga Tournament- So, we're going to do a public mini-tournament on Sunday, March 22nd - the second day of Spring!"

The tournament is open to children currently in Kindergarten through 8th grade, who can register through the Liberty Lake Ga-Ga Tourney webpage. Participants should be ready to play at high noon on 3/22, broken down into age groups depending on the number of participants. Says Pritikin, "I'm hoping for 100 players. It's open to the community, and will have prizes for the winners and S'mores for everybody." Camp tours will take place from 11-3, for families interested in Liberty Lake's 25thAnniversary season, which begins in only 100 days on June 22- at the conclusion of the school year.
