WORCESTER, MA – After turning away from an opportunity to try out for an appearance on the PBS documentary show called the Everyday Edisons Inventions, the commissioner of the World Super Scoreball Federation announced the time is right to set a date for recognizing the first regional team champion of the new world sport called super scoreball.  Super Scoreball was created and developed in Massachusetts four years ago as a means of fighting childhood obesity while creating more opportunities for young people to play a team sport. Since its inception, the sport has expanded into a fun fitness activity with other applications, including coeducational, corporate, charity, and special needs fitness events. The game is currently being played at Teamworks, 5 Saint Mark’s Street, Auburn, Massachusetts.  Speaking at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts while reviewing professional sports at a New England Surge football game, the WSSF commissioner explained that super scoreball is poised to begin an expansion into prime time.  "It’s been a well-kept secret that super scoreball has been undergoing high-quality testing and refinement at local athletic facilities for a number of years. It hasn’t been an easy task, but co-founders Ron Perreault of Whitinsville, and Dan Hartwell of Worcester, and our volunteer staff have successfully created reality from a vision that was laid out on paper four years ago. That vision called for the development and roll-out of a new world sport. That new sport from Massachusetts, the same state where basketball was invented, is a sport filled with leadership and sports traditions, plus opportunities to score points in a variety of ways." Speaking with authority about the latest new world sport, Wilmot elaborated on recent developments.  "What’s interesting is that during the past six weeks, this outstanding sport has been played by hundreds of young people for the first time in New England. It’s been featured on the front page of the Worcester Telegram. At the same time, I’ve had the privilege of explaining the concepts of super scoreball on radio and television with Hank Stolz of WCRN radio, and the honorable Mayor Konnie Lukes of Worcester. These recent activities and growing public recogniition of super scoreball indicate that it’s time to invite athletes and teams from across the Northeast region of the United States to compete in a televised tournament for a once in a life-time opportunity to be crowned the first champions of super scoreball."  The commissioner believes that the World Super Scoreball Federation is on the verge of garnering the type of community support necessary to host a large first of its kind tournament.  "There’s a lot of interest brewing in Massachusetts right now. We still face challenges related to overcoming resistance to change, and so forth, but I think local leaders are beginning to consider how super scoreball’s first championship tournament and subsequent growth of the WSSF fits into the overall economic future of the city. This sport not only provides opportunities for children and the strengthening of community relationships, but it also presents the city of Worcester with yet another unique offering in future years which can rival Boston and Springfield in their ability to draw people to city venues.
