OUR STORY

It all started while on a trip with some friends. We grew up playing a lot of volleyball, so we were looking for a net and court where we could get a good game in. There were no nets around, but there was something else — a wooden bridge going across a pool we had access to. We ended up playing a game where instead of hitting the ball over the net, we hit the ball against the bridge to the other team. We had a surprisingly awesome time doing this, and once we got back to Toronto, we realized we wanted to continue playing this version of volleyball. Luckily, we had access to an old squash court, which is really where the magic happened. Playing 2 vs 2, we played around with makeshift boards, and experimented with different rules and ideas. Over time, we also tested various playing surfaces, and developed board designs that were portable so that people could play anytime, anywhere. We soon realized that this new sport, which we named Boardball, was a great way to stay engaged with the sport of volleyball wherever, whenever.
