Raqball is a revolutionary gender-inclusive, non-contact team racket sport created by French artist and designer Chris Oven. It combines elements of tennis and basketball into a unique sporting experience.
Played by teams of 6 players (3 on court, 3 substitutes) on a 66 × 33 ft court, Raqball uses specialized rackets (RAQQETS) to shoot at a vertical target board (TARGGET) featuring an integrated hoop.

Raqball USA in action — bringing the sport to campuses and communities across Las Vegas.
CSN Club Rush — Spring 2026
Raqball USA took part in the ASCSN Club Rush Spring 2026 across all three CSN campuses — Henderson, Charleston, and North Las Vegas. Over three days, hundreds of students discovered the sport for the first time, picked up a racket, and signed up to learn more. The energy on each campus was electric — and this is just the beginning.
Raqball Demo Event — March 2026
The YMCA of Southern Nevada — home to thousands of members across all ages, backgrounds, and abilities — just added a brand new sport to its roster. Raqball is now part of their world. Gender-neutral, non-contact, and built for everyone, this is exactly the kind of sport a community institution like the YMCA was made to champion. We couldn't be more proud to bring Raqball through their doors — and we're just getting started.
34th Annual Sports ETA Symposium — Las Vegas, April 20–23, 2026
Raqball USA participated as an Event Owner at the premier U.S. sports tourism symposium. Over four days, our delegation introduced Raqball to hundreds of DMOs, sports commissions, and event organizers from across the country.
See It. Play It. Love It.
Raqball launched in Las Vegas and is now spreading across the United States — played outdoors all winter, and moving into gyms, schools, and recreation centers as the seasons change.
