What is YOU.FO?

What do we stand for? - Our story -
One look and it’s easy to tell that YOU.FO is a cross between lacrosse and ultimate frisbee. That’s only the beginning of the story. As a kid, Bas Ruyssenaars was inspired by a variety of sports and activities like soccer, Jai Alai (the world’s fastest ball game), frisbee, and even martial arts. Like most growing up without internet, Bas always created his own sport games using materials in and around the house. The idea for YOU.FO was one of those items – his dog’s rubber ring and a large wooden stick as the launching sword.
In 2011 Bas Ruyssenaars created the initial idea for YOU.FO with a team of industrial designers specializing in aerodynamics, along with sport innovation professionals and sports teachers (Giel Bos & Tim Konings). After a few years of concept development and fine-tuning, YOU.FO was born!
Since then, YOU.FO won several national and international awards and was an official demo sport at the CSIT World Sport Games ’15 in Italy. In the summer of 2016 YOU.FO held its first official national Dutch Cup (competing six teams) and in the summer of 2017 the first YOU.FO World Cup was held in Riga, Latvia. Currently the sports and leisure game is played in 15 countries in 4 different continents. There are over 3000+ YOU.FO players worldwide and YOU.FO is played in 200+ schools.
Our dream is to become a globally accepted sports and leisure game. We believe that YOU.FO can bring joy to people’s lives and inspire others to be creative and live life outside the box. Playing YOU.FO ensures a smile on your face, for young and old! In addition, YOU.FO is easy to play, but fun to master. For this reason players experience the feeling of competence while improving, this makes them feel more self-esteemed.
