Our Roots: A Journey from Rocks to Revolution
Palmball's inception traces back to the creator's UMass days, where a beach mishap led to the birth of "Prehistoric Paddle" (PHP). What started with rocks and creativity evolved into a legitimate sport, gaining recognition from the Athletic Director at UMass and paving the way for PHP to become a P.E. class.
Over time, the game evolved, incorporating strategies like "Bump-Set-Spike" in 2005, turning Palmball into a dynamic fusion of fun and skill. The game became a staple for a dedicated group of players who gathered weekly, culminating each season with the PHP Invitational Tournament.
Innovation Amidst Challenges
Palmball faced its own set of challenges, notably the risk associated with using rocks as paddles. The turning point came during the Covid Summer of 2020 when necessity sparked innovation. Rock paddles were replaced with wooden replicas, making the game safer and more accessible.
The transformation didn't stop there. Palmball's potential caught the eye of Ben Sturner, CEO of Leverage Sports Agency. The partnership led to the first Palmball Tournament, where world-class athletes showcased their skills, marking a significant milestone for the sport.
