Our Story
How did Launchball start? As someone who played a variety of sports when I was younger such as soccer, baseball, dodgeball, basketball, football, and more, sports were always a part of my life. It was at the park where I would meet new people and have the chance to just have fun and get away from work and school for a while. It was also a great way to stay in shape and allowed me to destress. My plan was to become an engineer which is what I was in college for but after a few setbacks I had to leave. It left me unsure of what I would do next in my life until I was scrolling through social media. I had seen other people who created their own businesses built around a new sport that they had created. It was in those moments when I thought to myself that maybe I could do the same thing, come up with a new sport and make that my own business.
Approximately one year in and here we are. I've received a lot of support from my family and we are getting ready to really kick off this venture. Going from engineering student to business owner is a daunting change but I can't wait to show the world our new sport. So, I thank you for your support and hopefully together we can make history very very soon! I hope this sport will do the same as it did for me, which is meet new people, make lifelong friends, and learn valuable skills for on and off the pitch.
