The story of a sport born yesterday.

It began at midsummer in 2022: an old badminton net, a floorball and homemade plywood paddles.

Equipment

Simple by design.

The BirdBall paddle is compact, solid wood and deliberately minimal.

The original paddle is made from birch plywood. Its rectangular hitting surface and short handle give it a distinctive shape. The ball is a white perforated floorball ball.

How to play

Keep the Bird Flying.

In BirdBall, the ball is hit over the net directly from the air. There are no bounces.

01

The ball must not touch the floor.

02

Strokes and serving

03

First to 11
