Speediball Game (Come Play or Watch this new Sport!)
Saturday, May 9, 2026, 1400 - 1630
GENERAL OVERVIEW: Speediball is the brand new sport I have invented that focuses on speed, quickness, creativity, strategy and other skills. It is also a safe and relatively contact free sport that can be played by both genders and all ages!
LONG-TERM GOAL: The goal is to see it grow into a viable spectator sport one day that is played officially in high schools and colleges and maybe even at the professional level in some years.
IMMEDIATE GOAL: As of now though I am just attempting to launch it with games and clinics here in my local Chicagoland area, and get people interested. I'm looking to create and foster a community of "Speediballers" who learn, live, and love the sport and then are the foundation for it going forward in building the culture and industry of it. I intend to form local leagues for all age groups and for both genders individually and coed version. That all starts with simple pick-up games on weekends or weekday nights where people can show up and play fun competitive games to test and judge the sport and gain interest in it. This game is part of that goal.
COME PLAY FOR FREE: So please show up and play like you would in a pick up game for basketball, soccer or flag football game, or any other sport. It's simple to learn, and maybe you'll love it, also invite and bring friends! This is open to all people 18+ of either gender, although anybody of any age is welcome to come and watch. Whether you are a top notch athlete or not come and play Speediball. Depending on the amount of players and the preference of attendees we will play coed and/or have two games; an all men's game or an all women's game. Unlike many sports there is no registration fee, entry fee or tickets needed, it is completely free to join and play!
WHAT TO BRING: To play you can simply dress in a t-shirt and shorts or sweats and shoes that are good to run in. You can wear cleats if you want since this is played on grass, but cleats are not necessary or mandatory. You may want to bring water to drink since there is a lot of physical activity. I will have ice cold water for everyone but you will still want to bring some of your own in case we run out. I will provide all other equipment needed for the sport.
SEE THE SPORT IN ACTION: I could go into great detail describing the sport, however instead let me show you this promo video of it in action:
