SkyTag - a New Sport
The new sport of SkyTag was invented by a group of aerial enthusiasts and sports developers led by Jennifer Morales. The sport was created in March 2022. SkyTag combines elements of tag and aerial acrobatics, where players navigate an obstacle-filled aerial course to tag opponents using lightweight foam balls.
Sport Summary
SkyTag is an innovative aerial sport that emphasizes agility, teamwork, and strategy. Played in specially designed arenas featuring nets, swings, and climbing structures, the game introduces a thrilling twist to traditional tag by integrating flight and acrobatics. Players use harnesses and safety gear to navigate a multi-level arena, where they aim to tag opponents while avoiding being tagged themselves. The objective is to accumulate points by tagging the most players while showcasing acrobatic skills and teamwork.
