Play Headis at the PCYC Marrickville, 531 Illawarra Road - Every
Monday night 7pm-9pm - Upstairs Hall 1.Headis is a new high intensity
sport combining the skills of Football and Table Tennis.Headis is a
mix of table tennis and heading the ball soccer-style. The rules are
similar to table tennis except that players ‘head’ the ball rather
than use a bat. It is played on a solid table tennis table with a
stable metal net and a special 50 cm round soft rubber ball weighing
no more than 100 grams.Headis has enjoyed great global success and is
now one of the fastest growing introductory sports on earth.It is a
sport that has rapidly become popular in Europe and in Asia and
continues to grow. It has now launched in Australia with training and
tournaments planned nationally.The rapid growth of Headis has resulted
in the Sport receiving an ISPO new sport brand Award which was
followed by extensive TV coverage and invitations to visit the USA and
China to demonstrate the sport of Headis. Major Sporting media outlets
such as ESPN, Fox sports, Sports Illustrated and Wide World of Sports
to name a few have all done positive and encouraging articles on the
sport of Headis.During it's launch in Sydney, Headis Australia enjoyed
great media coverage including Channel 7’s The Morning Show and
Channel 10’s The Project as well as online, print and radio
coverage.Headis is a sport that promotes fair play and a key element
of the success of Headis is the fun atmosphere and camaraderie that is
built amongst players. It is now estimated there are more than 100,000
Headis players worldwide and with the recent introduction of Headis
into Australia and New Zealand that number will significantly grow.One
of Headis Australia’s key objectives is to promote and develop the
sport of Headis in Australia and New Zealand making it a sport of
choice for male and female players of all ages. Headis globally is
expected to reach a level of participation that will see it considered
as an Olympic sport.We hope to have you on board!Hearts, Heads &
Balls!Headis Australia.
