What is Teqball? A Look At The Sport's Rising Popularity

When you watch a clip or an entire match of Teqball, of course, it is easy to see the overlap that is shared with soccer. Being a good soccer player certainly gives you some of the basics of Teqball. It requires a lot of mental endurance and can be a great tool in developing their first touch on the soccer field.

But some of the best players have not come from soccer. Teqball has a very diverse talent pool that includes athletes from all sports, including volleyball and karate.

Teqball organizations have been running tournaments for the last year and a half in different states and cities. Teqball has placed emphasis on diversifying its audience, and its tournaments prove that. The sport has an abundance of co-ed and female-only tournaments. 

This map of the United States really gives you a feel of how big this sport is getting. All of the cities listed currently have Teqball teams organizations, so this sport is not just limited to the West Coast.

Over the last year, Teqball has added 105 clubs in the US. Each team uses an Instagram account as a way to connect eager newcomers and bring them to the nearest table. And like it was said earlier, contrary to popular belief, you don't need years and years of soccer training. 

The support for the sport has been overwhelming. When you think about other sports, it can be really hard to continue playing at an advanced age. Teqball is unique in that sense. The youngest player competing is 16 years old, while some of the oldest players are in their 50s. There is no discrimination when it comes to who can and cannot play.

When it comes to what stands in the way of the sport, the biggest obstacle is time. To become admitted into the Olympics, the sport needs to be adopted by every country. That is why grassroots initiatives are so important and are the focus of the sport's leadership groups. 

The Teqball World Cup was last in Budapest, Hungary. There are tentative plans for a world cup in 2021, but like everything else in this covid life, it is flexible.
