The Safer Sport In Spring
Our rulebook author dismantled American Football in order to build a safer version in spring. He had one rule for him.
Everytime something was removed something else had to replace it in order to have a hearty challenge.
Much needed DNA was inspired by Rugby League, Australian Rules, Canadian Football, Rugby Union and Gaelic Football.
Our game became Handball when a local mailman saw Hank holding an early prototype game ball. "That's too short to be a football. That's a handball.".
A light turned on. Suddenly our game wouldn't suffer Orthodox bias. Our game could earn it's own legacy as a "Handball" sport. As a salute to it's ancestors. It's named after it's place of origin.
Each player player wears two of ten characters consisting of one letter and one number.
• A • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • J • K • 8 • 9 • X •
The letter determines the player's status eligible or Ineligible when lined up on Offense. A letter or number can be the first character. Example:"A8" or "2X".
Players wearing an "X" are Ineligible.
"A, J or K" are eligible. Players wearing a "K" are Captains on Defense who communicate with officials, call timeout and decline penalties. The "J" is a Captain on Offense. "Jacks" are who calls the signals and receives the snap. One Captain must be fielded on every play.
Our jerseys will get torn because you do get mugged in Jersey.
Our Jersey jerseys are cheapo T-shirts from Hobby Lobby. They're like 4 bucks.
If you carry the ball a lot you'll need a couple jerseys. If you run out, your manager will lay down a new one and stencil spray your code on real quick. Three minutes later you're back on the field.
We'll sell Jersey jerseys at games for like ten bucks.
The Henry Hurling Rugby Ball took over two years to design, develop and perfect. The Henry "Half Pint" was specifically designed for Jersey Handball and all of the game's skillsets which include Hand Striking, Punting, Rugby passing and Forward Passing.
Our game ball tested out with a jaw dropping 80.2 miles per hour at 60 feet.
Wilson might make the Duke but it's Henry who after Wilson wouldn't help develop a ball for a sport which will help young adults pay off obscene student debt by playing a pro sport on TV, sir Henry makes the original "Earl of Hurl".
Henry's balls aren't for sale. In order to handle Hank's balls you'll have to start one of our game's four teams, the Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades.
Henry will issue practice balls to the league's teams for zero charge. If they need a repair Hank will swap that ball out for a new one no questions asked.
Our game has a special playing field. Our field is 90 yards between the goal lines by 50 yards wide. Every 15 yards is a Set Line with two grid lines every 5th and 10th yard mark between. Our end zones in America are 15 yards deep. You guys like a bigger end zone?
Because our field is just 90 yards, Pitch-Grid lines can be applied to Canadian Football fields. The Canadian Pitch-Grid has end zones 30 feet deep.
Pitch-Grids are 50 yards wide. That's 15 yards thinner than a Canadian Football field.
Pitch-Grid lines can be applied to either a Union or League Rugby Pitch without having to move their sticks! Their field is metric so when our game's lines are down you end up with end zones of 29 feet. That's just one foot shy of 10 yards. If all four of your teams play on one field your end zones are your end zones.
Because of this feature Jersey Handball or "Pitch-Grid Handball" as it's called everywhere outside of South Jersey can operate in markets with a combined population of 6.5 billion people. Those other games that have head trauma can't do this.
Our sport is a non-travel made for TV League. Our game is designed to be a safer alternative to tackle football.
There's currently an untapped talent base out there chomping at the bit. Jersey's athlete is world class. He's a "Jimmy Down the Street who works up the road. He's probably holding a shovel come Monday. They're our neighbor's kids who have obscene student debt or are saving to buy a house. Our game's the only part of Jersey where our athletes won't pay any tolls.
URANIA
Urania was a Rugby-like team sport dating back two thousand years. The Romans were a nasty bunch.
We read descriptions of the sport and applied our Jersey Handball safety restrictions. The end result is a wild and crazy sport that's fast and a bit chaotic. Even though Roman Rugby's more basic it's a true blast from the past.
