Question

How do I promote my made-up sport?

Community Answer

Share your sport with your friends and family, advertise about it around school and invite your classmates to play with you, and maybe even share the game online! (Just be aware that other people may try to take credit for the game if it gets too well-known.)

Question

Are there ball sports with water balloons?

Community Answer

If it had water balloons, it wouldn't be a 'ball' sport as such. However it could be something more related to paint balling or tag. Water 'ballooning' could become a thing so, good idea!

Question

How do I make rackets and balls on a team uniform?

Community Answer

First you can make the rackets cross over each other to make an X (if there are two rackets), then have the ball in the middle hitting the rackets, so it won't take up a lot of space.

Question

How do I come up with a good name for the sport?

Community Answer

Think of names from existing sports and put some together. Or you could combine two words that relate to the sport, like "basket" and "ball," something along those lines.

Do I have to register my sport?

You don't have to register it if it's a game you wish to play with friends and family to have fun. If you wish to make it a popular sport known all around the world and be professionally played, then you do have to register it.

Question

How do I come up with a unique sport quickly?

Community Answer

Look at other sports. Think about ‘what could I do to improve this sport?’ Then place your ideas onto a piece of paper, and make up rules for it. The amount of time this will take you depends entirely on you and how fast you think and come up with new ideas.
