2. What is 360ball?
360 ball is the “Sport in a Circle”.
A new sporting concept that utilizes the principles
and properties of a circle to define a ball sport.
360ball is a racquet sport played by two players or
between two teams of two players (doubles) in a
circular court.
Players use the racquets to strike a rubber ball so
that it bounces of a centrally placed concave disc.
There are no sides to the court and play pivots
around the disc.

for Educational purposes.

stimulates cognitive functioning.
• The game requires full-body coordination and
focused attention.
• 360ball improves the Hand-Eye Coordination, which
is critical for tasks such as handwriting.
• Increase of Lateral & Peripheral Viewing abilities as
playing area includes 360 degrees of a circle which
helps with the task of reading.

8. Hand Eye Coordination
Majority of our children spend hours in front of the TV
or the PlayStation. These type of activities require only
1-dimensional viewing. No horizontal eye-movement or
peripheral viewing is required, which is a major element
for brain development and the essential task of
reading.
The sport of 360ball requires this lateral eye movement
and peripheral viewing – while concentrating on the
centrally placed disc, each player has to keep his
partner as well as his opponent in sight to play a
strategic game.

9. 360ball – Community Project
• Knysna – the home town of 360ball – shows that 360ball is the
ideal sport for children of all ages and all social upbringings.
• Right from the beginning, after the “birth” of 360ball, the
interest in playing 360ball has been immense.
• As 360ball requires relatively little equipment at low cost -
this game is ideal to be introduced into Community Projects.
• Knysna’s Community - previously disadvantaged young men
and women- have started their own 360ball club – with a
sponsored disc + ricochet board from the inventors of the
game – playing in an old water reservoir which had been
“upgraded” into a 360ball court and since had been used on a
daily basis.

10. Our Vision
Our vision is to grow 360ball into an international Sport with worldwide leagues and
Championships. 360ball will get recognised by the IOC and become an Olympic discipline.
Our Strategy
We believe that by introducing 360ball to schools we will create a huge base of players and
followers of the new sport. The students of today will be the league players of tomorrow.
With the daily use of Social Media Platforms by these students the sport of 360ball will be
marketed naturally and create huge awareness.
Including previously disadvantaged and rural schools into these school projects we will
create a community angle which will give additional value to our sponsors.
With the 4 key factors: SPORT, HEALTH, ACTIVE LIFESTYLE & TEAM WORK 360ball is the
ideal sport for corporate partners that associate with these values.
