🇺🇾 Uruguay Tchoukball National Team

Charrúa grit,
in the no-contact sport

We are Uruguay's Tchoukball National Team: competing internationally since 2010 and crowned Pan American champions in 2024. Now we're going for more, on the road to the 2026 Pan Ams and the 2027 World Championship.

What is tchoukball

A non-contact team sport for everyone

Tchoukball is a team sport created in Switzerland with no physical contact between players. It is played with a ball and two elastic rebound frames: the attacking team shoots at the frame and scores if the ball bounces and hits the floor without the defense catching it. There are no collisions and you cannot intercept opponents, making it safe, inclusive and mixed. It rewards technique, strategy and teamwork over strength.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need experience to start?

No. Most people start without ever having played. We teach you the rules and technique from scratch in your first practice.

Is it a contact sport?

There is no physical contact and you cannot intercept opponents. That makes it one of the safest and most inclusive team sports.

Can men and women play together?

Yes, tchoukball is naturally mixed. There are also men's, women's, youth and +40 categories.

What do I need to bring?

Sportswear, indoor shoes and enthusiasm. We provide the ball and the frames.

How much does it cost?

Your first practice is free so you can try it. After that we sort it out depending on the group and venue. Message us and we'll explain.
