A net separates the teams, no tackles, no collisions. Safe for every age and ability.
Nine players a side bring everyone into the game, coordination over confrontation.
Catch and release within three seconds, quick thinking keeps every rally alive.
Played by youth, elders and specially-abled athletes alike, a genuine sport for all.
