About - YOU.FO

YOU.FO is an innovative sports and leisure game based throwing an aerodynamic ring with sticks. It requires concentration, strength, flexibility and cooperation. Although the basic skills are easy to learn, YOU.FO will continue to challenge players to improve their skills, and to invent new game concepts.

YOU.FO can be played one-on-one or in teams, with goals or freestyle, in city parks, on sports fields or at the beach.

YOU.FO has its origins in Bas Ruyssenaars his teenage years in the Netherlands. He loved creating his own outdoor games and that’s how he once launched his dog’s rubber ring with a long wooden stick.

Playing around Bas discovered that he could make the ring fly pretty far. Fast forward years later and in 2010 Bas decided to turn the initial idea into a dynamic and fun game together with a team of industrial designers, sports teachers and first followers Giel Bos & Tim Konings.

The patented sports game won several awards and is played both as a fun leisure activity and as an official team game in communities in over 25 countries around the globe. Now it’s your turn to learn the basics and have fun in your journey to become a YOU.FO master!

“Since YOU.fo is such a new concept, people have to first grasp the basic techniques of throwing and catching. so, i love the moment when they manage to throw and successfully catch for the first time. you always see a big smile on their face for ‘mastering’ the basics’.
With teams, i love it when players succeed in passing successfully using the full width and length of the field to get to the scoring zone. Because of the slow motion of the aerodynamics, it gives players a time to follow the flight pattern and anticipate the next move.”
