Before Gridball,
there was a box.
Tape on the floor. A ball. A line of students waiting to play. The idea started with a game that kept bringing people back.

The long game
A sport to play.
A league to build.
We see Gridball growing from local courts to a world-stage sport, with the NGL as its professional home. Clubs with their own identities. Collared kits. Purpose-built arenas. Fans who belong to something.
That is the long-term vision. The clubs, arenas, and championship experiences shown here are concepts. Our immediate next step is the first playtest.
