Meet the Founders
Our founding team consists of two brothers who have played sports all over the world throughout school and university. From their humble beginnings playing tennis and cricket in Piet Retief, South Africa, to engaging in ultimate frisbee and volleyball in Canberra, Australia, and golf in Los Angeles, USA, their personal experiences have unveiled the barriers that hinder people from playing all kinds of sports more often. This revelation ignited their passion and led them to a mission: breaking down these barriers for everyone else.
