PORTABLE COURT EQUIPMENT RB2.0

RAQBALL, A GROUND-BREAKING SPORT

RAQBALL is a new collective sport played with raqqets (rackets). It was created by French artist Chris Oven.
It is played on a court 20 m by 10 m in size, with teams of 6 players (3 in play and 3 replacements). The playing time is 20 minutes, divided into 4 periods of 5 minutes each. Each player is allowed to play the ball with a raqqet. Passes, drib’ups (dribbling) and a 1ground (bounce on the floor) may be performed during play to attack or defend the targget (target). The aim is executing a targ (shot) on the targget (target), which scores points.
A game involving dexterity and strategy, RAQBALL is both fun and multifaceted, and can be practised by players of all ages and skill levels.

RAQBALL, a game for all, with multiple benefits

Passing, drib’up, 1ground, as well as movements to progress and to outwit your opponents, make of RAQBALL a combination of dexterity, technique, precision, intensity, and free expression. Sharing skills and techniques with other sports, it allows each participant, whether a committed athlete or an amateur, to express their talent and to show their physical skills.

RAQBALL, a driver for green sustainability in the world of sport

Installing, building or extending traditional sport facilities always requires a full or partial acquisition of real estate, as well as important financial commitments.
With RAQBALL, thanks to its portable court equipment that is easy to dismantle, any surface can be prepared for the game without alterations. Local authorities, owners of 85% of sport venues, with facilities that are quite often overused and sometimes rundown, are always in search of technological innovation and excellence in areas of social and environmental responsibility.
RAQBALL is in tune with the principles of sustainable development.

RAQBALL, a ground-breaking market

What is the cost of all the equipment? How can operating costs be optimised?
At times of tightening budgets, local authorities express the view that the RAQBALL portable court equipment RB2.0 concept is a real solution offering to many people a space to practice sport at a reasonable cost.
The business world and particularly the leisure sector (holiday centres, hotels, campsites), as well as private individuals, are equally convinced that the RAQBALL portable court equipment is a winner for this new sport. RAQBALL offers especially an easy use of its equipment with a reduced purchase cost.
