Who We Are
Current team sports were originally designed (a long time ago) to be fun to play and without any thought toward the spectator. Grid League is the first team sport specifically intended to be fun to watch.
It is the ultimate race based game requiring intense teamwork, high skill athleticism, and in-depth strategy. It is easy to follow, extremely exciting, and fits with the modern attention span.
Most importantly – it is the world’s first, spectator team sport featuring men and women competing alongside and against one another. This leads to unique, compelling, and dramatic story lines like you have never seen before.
What we believe in
We believe in cultivating health across mind, body, and business. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and excellence in everything we do. And we know that true progress happens when we work together—with equality, teamwork, and real diversity at the core of our culture.
Our mission is to create the most unforgettable and empowering sporting experience on the planet—one that inspires performance, builds community, and celebrates the thrill of competition at every level.
We believe competition is healthy—it brings out the best in us. Physical ability is a gift to be respected and nurtured (so get off the couch and move). We operate with the mindset that a rising tide lifts all boats, and we lead with integrity, humility, empathy, and a deep sense of personal responsibility.
the cause
Single-gender team sports teach us to divide.
They send the message—especially to kids—that because men and women are different, they should be kept separate. But that mindset is outdated. True teamwork means embracing those differences, using them to complement one another and achieve more together.
In Grid League, success requires extreme differences—strengths, speeds, strategies—all working in sync.
UNITY IS UNDEFEATED
Support Your Team. Wear the League.
Support Your Team. Wear the League.
The key parts of Grid League
Two teams going head to head in a series of races. Teams accumulate points based on race outcomes. The team with the most points at the end of the match, wins.
A series of athletic movements called elements to be performed as the head coach decides. These races are consistent in rules and structure from match to match but vary in element based on the match format of the day.
The collection of elements used within the races for a given match. Different match formats create different requirements around player use and strategy that must be planned for by the head coach. The match formats are set prior to the Season.
The playing surface features two parallel lanes each with a start line, finish line, four quadrants, and hash marks along the side that are used in some races. There is a central rig between lanes used for bodyweight elements. This layout enables clear visualization of race progress for both competitors and spectators.
A head coach led group of players featuring an equal number of men and women with diverse body types and athletic backgrounds. Each team contains certain positions including strength specialists, bodyweight specialists, and utility players.
A traditional team sport format including city based teams, a regular season, playoff and Championship. The Championship winner earns a large cash prize.
