Are you ready for some Fistball?

Roxbury, NJ - January 18, 2017 - Morris County, New Jersey has a rich sports history that is second to none. But, are you ready for Fistball? The United States Fistball Association teams are prepared to continue making history! In July 2016, the U18 Women’s Fistball team competed for the 1st time at the U18 Fistball World Youth Championships in Nuremburg, Germany.

Because of the success on the international stage, and again by invitation from the European Fistball Association, the 2017 USA USFA national teams are headed to the 2017 European World Championships being held in Switzerland this coming summer. This year, the US would like to add a U18 Men’s team to also compete, offering a unique sports opportunity to represent the United States in Europe!

Even though Fistball is still a relatively unknown sport, it has been played in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York beginning 75 years ago. Fistball is very similar to Volleyball (with a bounce), so the transition to Fistball is easier for athletes who have Volleyball experience.

Indoor practices have begun to give the returning and potential new Fistball players a chance to develop playing skills, position play, defensive and offensive techniques and strategy. Practices are open to all youth ages 13 - 18 and there is no residency requirement, so all are welcome to participate.

Beginning in May the team will be holding their practices at the Swim and Sport Club located at 272 Emmans Road, Roxbury, NJ. The SSC has been playing competitive Fistball for over 75 years and is the perfect home for the USA national teams.

Middle School and High School Physical Education professionals: If you would like a Fistball demonstration for your classes, please contact Bob Feid to schedule.

Looking forward, the 2018 U18 World Championships will likely be held in the United States and with the next 2 years devoted to cultivating players, building skills and strategy, the United States national U18 teams will become a formidable competitor to play against seasoned international teams on USA soil.

For all questions or details on practices, please contact Bob Feid, President, United States Fistball Association - bobf2@optonline.net
