Our Story: The Ashby Baggers Cornhole Club
Nestled in the heart of Ashby De La Zouch, a spark was ignited in the summer of 2023 that would soon kindle a vibrant community around the sport of Cornhole. The Ashby Baggers Cornhole Club was born from a simple yet profound desire: to bring people together through a sport that's as fun as it is inclusive. Our founding story is a testament to the power of community and the universal language of play.
Our journey began when a group of friends, inspired by the camaraderie and competitive spirit they witnessed while traveling in the USA, decided to introduce Cornhole to their hometown. Starting with just a DIY board, a set of bags, and a passion to share their newfound hobby, the founders played on the Bathgrounds, drawing curious onlookers and eager participants. The interest from passersby was instantaneous and overwhelming, prompting the creation of a club where everyone, regardless of age or skill level, could join in the fun.
As our club's popularity grew, so did our activities and community involvement. From participating in local events like the Ashby Sports Day to receiving the invaluable support of Everyone Active Leisure Centre, the Ashby Baggers swiftly became a cornerstone of local sports. Our ethos, "Everyone can play, anyone can win," reflects our commitment to accessibility and enjoyment for all.
Today, the Ashby Baggers stand proud as not only a club but a beacon of community spirit. We are humbled by the journey so far and excited for the future chapters we will write together. We invite you to be part of our story and join us in celebrating the simple joys that come from a game of Cornhole.
Whether you're looking to make new friends, learn a new skill, or simply enjoy the thrill of a well-tossed bag, the Ashby Baggers Cornhole Club is your community. Come, throw with us, and experience firsthand how a little bag can bring a whole community together.
