Battle Sports

Choose Your Battle

Battle Sports brings the excitement of foam weapon combat and active team games to your organization. We've collected, adapted, and invented games from around the world—from Troll Ball (invented in Canada) to Jugger (from the cult classic film) to our own original creations.

Every game uses safe foam weapons and follows clear rules that keep things fun while teaching teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship. Our trained facilitators manage the action, explain the rules, and ensure everyone has a great time.
