The new sport of Fleetball was created by King James Roncesvalles from the Phillipines in December 2024. Fleetball is a creative, fast-paced sport where teams use sticky grips to score points by passing a lightweight ball over a low net with strategy and teamwork.

Fleetball is an exciting and dynamic sport where two teams of two players compete by using sticky grips and a lightweight ball to execute creative passes, spins, and strategic plays over a low net, aiming to score points by outmaneuvering opponents, maintaining control, and showcasing teamwork and sportsmanship.

Sport Description

Objective:

Fleetball is played between two teams, each consisting of two players. The objective is to score points by successfully passing the ball over a low net and into the opposing team's area, making it difficult for them to catch or return the ball. You can use any products that is sticky to yor hand to ensure stickyness.

Key Rules:

1. Gameplay:

• Teams alternate serving the ball.
• The ball must be served high into the air, crossing the net into the opponent's zone. A low or direct serve is considered a foul.

2. Scoring:

• A team earns 1 point when the opposing team fails to catch or return the ball.
• If the ball hits the opponent’s body intentionally, it results in a foul, and the opposing team is awarded 1 point.

3. Tricks and Strategies:

• Players can perform tricks, spins, or feints to make the ball unpredictable.
• However, sportsmanship is crucial—intentionally aiming for an opponent’s body is prohibited.

4. Boundaries:

• Each team has a designated playing area. If the ball lands outside this area, it results in a point for the opposing team.

5. Winning:

• The first team to reach a predetermined number of points (e.g., 15 or 21) wins the game.

Equipment:

• A low net spanning the court, approximately waist-height.
• A lightweight, soft ball designed for easy handling and safe gameplay.

Unique Features:

Fleetball – Court and Gameplay Enhancements

1. Court Layout

• The court is based on a badminton court, measuring 13.4 meters long and 6.1 meters wide.
• A low net (around 1 meter high) divides the court into two equal halves.

2. Sticky Product Element

• Players can use a special sticky grip product (like a tacky resin or glove) to enhance ball control.

This allows for:

• Better precision passes.
• Trick plays like spins or high arcs that are harder to predict.
• Increased strategy in how the ball is thrown and caught.

3. Scoring and Foul Adjustments

• A point is scored if the opposing team:
• Fails to catch or return the ball within their zone.
• Allows the ball to land on their side of the court.
• Hits the ball outside the court boundaries.

Foul Rule: Intentionally throwing the ball at the opponent’s body results in a point deduction.
