Spedball Ltd is a Manchester-based sports innovation company developing Spedball®, a new sporting discipline built around proprietary sporting hardware, its own rules and a zero-player-to-player-contact gameplay model.
Spedball has progressed through multiple generations of design, physical prototyping and real-world player testing. The core objective is simple: capture the ball from the back of the player before they reach the end zone.
The company is now entering its next stage of development, combining the established physical sporting concept with intelligent sensing, embedded electronics and connected technology. The aim is to capture meaningful gameplay interactions and ultimately enable performance data, player statistics, coaching insights and enhanced competition experiences.
Spedball Ltd is currently focused on further product development, technology integration, scalable manufacturing, structured player testing and commercialisation.
We are interested in connecting with investors, technology specialists, R&D organisations and strategic partners who can support the development and commercialisation of Spedball as an innovative sports technology platform.

One line proposition
Spedball® is a new sporting discipline combining proprietary hardware, zero-player-contact gameplay and intelligent technology to create a connected sports platform.
Problem / solution
Problem: Traditional competitive sports often rely on player-to-player physical contact, while existing alternatives can change the intensity and experience of competition.
Solution: Spedball® introduces a new sporting discipline where players compete for proprietary back-mounted sporting hardware rather than making physical contact with each other. We are now developing intelligent sensing and embedded technology to capture gameplay interactions and create a connected sports platform.
Spedball Ltd is seeking investment and R&D partners to develop intelligent sensing and embedded electronics for proprietary sporting hardware, enabling reliable gameplay data and the next generation of connected sport.
