Invented by Hungarian ex-footballer, Gabor Borsanyi, the game was developed from his practicing football with friends using the concrete outdoor table tennis tables in Budapest. He added the curve to the table with his co-founders, Gyorgy Gattyan and Viktor Huszár, as they developed the sport with the “Teq” part of the name, coming from the technique needed to return the ball.

What are the benefits we can get from teqball?

It's a non-contact sport, and according to the official rules, it is forbidden to touch the equipment itself, meaning the risk of injury is low. Not only as physical activity but teqball is also invented as an alternative way of practicing and developing skills needed for football players. It helps players master air-to-air ball-handling and quick thinking.

Teqball inspires confidence with the ball and promotes quick decision-making for ‘first touch’ moves. Each piece of equipment can be played by 2, 4, or even more players so everyone can have fun and train.

Teqball One vs Teqball Smart

Teqball One

Taking over two years for Teqball to develop the final innovative shape, the Teqball One was made for both indoor and outdoor use. With waterproof properties and an easy to assemble structure, it’s the perfect equipment for training. 

Teqball Smart 

Teqball Smart is the foldable version of the Teqball One table. The innovative design makes transportation and storage of the table even easier. It is ultimately just a more versatile piece of equipment. 

With the addition of lockable wheels and a foldable structure, the Teqball Smart makes moving location even easier. And the capability to fold on just one side of the table is an ideal rebound wall to play and practice.

It helps with spatial awareness 

Special awareness helps a player understand the positions the body should be in, in order to maximize their chances of staying in control of the ball. During Teqball, players must be aware of where their teammate is positioned around the table so that they know when to go for the ball or leave it to the other player.

A focus on spatial awareness in both Teqball and real football games means fewer injuries occurring. This is because players are more aware of what’s around them.
