USA Fistball Continues Building Momentum in 2026

The 2026 season is officially underway, and there has already been plenty to celebrate both on and off the field. From welcoming new sponsors to kicking off another domestic season, USA Fistball continues to take important steps toward growing the sport across the country.

Sponsors Join the USA Fistball Family

One of the biggest developments this summer has been the addition of two new sponsors to the United States Fistball Association.We are proud to welcome Jay Taylor, AAMS® of LPL Financial and On the Square Comics as official supporters of USA Fistball.

Jay Taylor and LPL Financial are dedicated to helping individuals and families build confidence in their financial futures through personalized investment guidance and long-term financial planning. Meanwhile, On the Square Comics, an independent publishing company founded by four lifelong friends, has built a reputation for bringing original stories and creative ideas to life.

Their partnership represents much more than financial support. Their investment helps strengthen youth development initiatives, national team programming, domestic tournaments, and the continued growth of fistball throughout the United States.

We sincerely thank both organizations for believing in our mission and look forward to growing the sport together.

Rain Couldn't Stop the 2026 Season Opener

Players from South Jersey Fistball Club, Phoenix Sport Club, Swim & Sport Club, and members of the U.S. Women's National Team gathered on June 27 to begin the 2026 season. Although steady rain fell for much of the day, the weather did little to slow the competition or dampen the enthusiasm of everyone in attendance.

The championship match featured an exciting battle between Phoenix Sport Club and the South Jersey Salmies. After Phoenix came out strong early, South Jersey rallied to claim the tournament championship and open the season with a victory.

Beyond the final results, the greatest success was simply bringing the fistball community back together for another season. Returning players, new faces, volunteers, and supporters all contributed to another outstanding day for the sport. A special thank you goes to Swim & Sport Club for hosting the event.
