Vikingball is a fast-paced 6v6 adult team sport built around passing, movement, positioning, defense, and controlled physical play. Two teams compete across a divided field, advancing the ball through designated zones while trying to knock the opposing team's target ball off its stand.

How do you play Vikingball?

Each team plays 6v6 including a goalie. Players pass and advance the ball through zones, must release the ball within the allowed time, and score by knocking the basketball off the opposing team's cone.

Do I need experience or a team to join?

No. Players can register individually and will be assigned to a team. No prior Vikingball experience is required.
