Welcome to the Airtoboal Group! Airtoboal is a brand new team sport that in short involves getting a ball that must mainly be kept in the air into the opponent's goal which is a literal bowl that must be kept on the ground and can only be moved with the feet and legs. Both the ball and both team's bowls can be moved all over the football/soccer sized field at any time during game play. It involves the necessary skills of speed, stamina, style, quickness, and creativity among others. If you enjoy or are good at any major sport like football, soccer, basketball, volleyball and others you should love and be good at this sport because of the similarities in skills needed. Here is how I would describe it as in comparison to some other major sports:
Soccer with a bowl,
basketball a little lower,
hockey on grass,
volleyball on a full field,
track with a ball,
lacrosse without sticks and more pace,
tag with props,
rugby with more variety
football except more action and less danger,
chess, checkers, monopoly, and risk board game in sport form.
The goal is to jump start the sport this summer here in the Chicagoland area and then hopefully see it grow and spread across the country and become a big time competitive and spectator sport. I'm hoping to be able to have a game scheduled almost every Saturday soon. So come join the group and be one of the first ever athletes to be a part of this new, exciting, and unique sport that hopefully has huge potential!
