What is the Triple Nine Challenge?
The Triple Nine Challenge is a high‑energy, multi‑sport adventure that blends three unforgettable experiences into one epic day — first to bowl 9 strikes, playing 9 holes of golf, and finishing strong with 9 innings of Bradenton Marauders baseball. It’s the perfect mix of friendly competition, athletic fun, and community connection.
But it’s more than just a packed day of sports. The Triple Nine Challenge brings people together to support Manatee County FCA and its mission to impact the lives of students and coaches. Every registration, every challenge completed, and every moment shared helps fuel life‑changing ministry right here at home.
Whether you come for the bowling, the golf, the ballgame, or the camaraderie that ties it all together, this event promises an unforgettable experience for a great cause.
