In sum, we are football’s answer to the Harlem Globetrotter’s (basketball) and Savannah Bananas (baseball).
420 Games per year in 20 countries, 1m views per week. Celebrating its 98th year.
Sold out 3 years in a row, 250,000 fans seated 2025.
Has the only format where Football could be used as comedy, using history and light-hearted vibe due to its safety that minimizes violence and injuries.
SAVING LIVES
But in truth is has a secret goal: It was founded to save lives and Youth Football from extinction as its popularity grows. As you will see from the medical data below, its format or something like it is inevitable as society progresses. Football 20 or 30 years from now will look very different, and people will have to credit WarBall, as undeniably the first.
HUGE DEMOGRAHPIC APPEAL
WarBall is also less violent, has global reach due to its Martial Arts features, and is gender inclusive. Many viewers have come to abhor NFL type violence that preys upon players of any age.
NO MATTER WHAT, WCF WILL WIN
Even though our status is a under-financed, tiny non profit, per the reasoning below, we think we can convince the government to sponsor our development and also Colleges as secondary (Spring time) revenue football program.
If not, our sacrifices and innovations will not be in vain, as WCF will be credited as the genesis of this evolution. Something has to be done as you will see.
Social Benefits disguised as Entertainment
Non Profit WCF is history’s first to reinvent tackle football and this version potentially would save millions of lives. It is so innovative it will end CTE* brain trauma in Youth Football and at all levels – while amazingly preserving tackling/blocking, has 5 times the action, but eliminates high speed collisions.
Because they played football, over 1 million players over a 20 year period will be afflicted with Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s (Brett Farve, etc.) as they age.
Also, WCF is less violent, based on skill and technique, not size and strength, so Women/girls can play alongside men, a great leap forward in social progress.
* CTE afflicts 1 in 5 High School players, 90% of college players, and all are 4 times more likely to succumb to Alzheimer’s (Boston University, Wikipedia “CTE”). Recent studies have shown it only takes one concussion to start CTE as a precursor to dementia and loss of vital organ function. Due to low sampling numbers, the effect on Pop Warner players is unknown, CTE can only be diagnosed after death.
It is a silent (perhaps purposely so) epidemic where youth participation has plummeted 35%! Besides the health risks, a huge part of our culture and the character building benefits of football are being lost.
HOW IS WARBALL SAFER?
Our version is so innovative even the football itself is a defensive safety weapon to deflect or soften tackles on the ball carrier or QB.
By rule you must engage weapons towards disablement device, sensors OR authorized martial arts move FIRST before attempting a tackle OR block, thus preventing high velocity body impacts.
After a weapon strike was attempted or blocked, a ball carrier is tackled about 75% of the time. Any force used by weapons can not be harder than necessary to trigger the impairment devices, ensuring no injury.
However, play can be blown dead if device on a ball carrier is successfully deployed. No tackle is necessary here, play is halted at that spot. See the videos below for more info.
Finally, our “Payload Rule”: You can not use more force than necessary to ‘get the job done’. WCF is less violent, based on skill and technique, not size and strength.
A BRAVE NEW SPORT IS BORN
One day the founder of WCF discovered a local high school dropped its football program and its 99 years of history. Citing safety concerns that caused parents to withdraw their sons from participating, the program closed. Such a circumstance is happening nationwide at all levels of youth football, and WarBall was founded to save a sport that is facing extinction.
Proposed Military League
WCF looks to form a Military League as a government sponsored effort to popularize this version to save Youth Football from extinction, save lives and billions in health care expenditures.
Introducing WarBall Avenger FootBall
WAF is our comedy/drama/music version, appeals to our youth, includes super hero action figures with Wolverine, Spider Man, Iron Man, Wonder Women and more playing football. They supplement the Vikings, Samurai, Knights that also participate. We take advantage of 3000 years of history to make fun of villains and elevate heroes.
We are marketing WarBall to be the counterpart of the Harlem Globetrotters or Savannah Bananas (baseball) but for FOOTBALL. We think our colleges could make this a Spring Football revenue generator to pay for the new NIL fees and penalties.
See this link for more info about WAF, with Marketing Intel and video such as Dead Pool at QB:
Our patented football becomes a defensive weapon as soon as it is caught or handed off. The QB uses it to fend off sack minded linemen, and per our rules will not be obscenely obliterated. Weapon’s First!
Weapon’s First! Note this tackle was made with one arm, per rules requiring targeting the visor with the sword before a tackle (or block) can be attempted. This eliminates high speed collisions.
This video shows a weapon strike and the play is halted at this point as the visor impairment device was successfully deployed. A follow up tackle occurs about 75% of the time in case device was missed. If confident of the strike’s success, no tackle is necessary. Our version for very young players 8 to 10 years old, is devices only and rules apply to blocking as well.
Ready for Battle! Wide receivers, Defensive Backs, and Running Backs have magnetically mounted safe (polycarbonate) swords on back of chest armor. This leaves hands free, but quick to deploy weapon to block, disable, or tackle.
QB (IpMan) can use the patented BangBall to fend off tacklers and then throw or run with it. It flies beautifully and is easy to catch
This video shows a nice Judo tackle, which probably would receive some style points that can be cashed in for first downs or negate a penalty)
It bears repeating Warball uses its patented football as a tool to defend the ball carrier and progress downfield. In Warball, to stop a ball carrier or block an opponent a defenders must:
1) Engage a weapon first before a conventional tackle or block or use,
2) Martial arts strike before a conventional tackle or block or,
3) Trigger a impairment device -visor drop or LED lights on face mask (play blown dead) which is a tackle if a ball carrier, or effects the play of a non ball carrier by impairing vision or movement.
Hit button on facemask, lights impair vision. Hitting any harder than sufficient to trigger LED’s is not allowed.More on this is shown below
WHY SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT RULES
The QB fights off fighters trying to sack him, then throw or run, an interesting visual. The passing game is virtually the same as conventional football, the ball is caught (you have to adjust for the rod by stepping slightly to the right of left of it) and the receiver will use it as a blocking weapon against armed defenders.
In short, you must attempt a stick, sword or MMA move BEFORE attempting a tackle OR a block. In many cases a weapon strike is followed immediately by a tackle or block, in case you missed the device.
Only specific martial arts techniques are allowed: judo type throws and grappling, leg sweeps, front kicks to abdomen (its padded), elbow strikes to the chest, hand strikes or kicks to helmet’s “smash mouth” button or to the non transparent visor (see pictures) are allowed, but only hard enough to trigger lights (pointed at the eyes) or drop the visor. The fighting staff will often be used to strike the upright visor downward, impairing vision.
This is our patented football, which becomes a weapon once thrown and caught
PATENTED DEVICES
Our patented impairment devices and javelin/football revolutionize football and make WarBall globally compatible. The red marked devices are still in development or too expensive to produce. See our technology page for details.
