The Hottest New Community in Sports
Play Chairball. Not just any game.
Imagine football, soccer and cornhole had a baby—and you play it with a drink in your hand. Chairball is a two-person team game where you kick the ball to your teammate, and they have to hit the chair without using their hands. Five levels. Most points wins. Easy to learn, hard to master—and impossible to play without laughing.

About Us
From a backyard idea to a global game.
How the game was born
It started on a camping trip to Assateague Beach in Maryland—the kind of place where wild horses roam the dunes and somehow always end up at your campsite. Our friend group spans Europe, Africa, and America, so we needed a game that bridged the gap. Most of the crew preferred kicking over throwing, so throwing was out. Cornhole? Too American. Soccer? Too serious. So we grabbed a chair, a ball, and a few drinks, and Chairball was born. It was so fun even the horses tried to get in on the action.
The game went international when one of our founders, Javi, got married in Toledo, Spain. We brought Chairball to the Europeans—and it was an instant classic. That's when we knew we had to bring it to the rest of the world.
Our mission
Bring people together—across cultures, ages, and skill levels—through a game that's as easy to set up as it is hard to put down. No fancy gear. No complicated rules. Just a chair, a ball, a drink in your hand, and the friends you came with (plus the ones you'll make by round three).
We’re building Chairball to be the world’s most welcoming sport: simple enough for a first-timer, deep enough for a tournament, and fun enough that nobody asks for the score.
