SlamBall is officially bouncing back.
The alternative sport — which combined elements of basketball, American football, ice hockey, and trampolines — has closed an $11 million Series A round led by Roger Ehrenberg’s Ia Sports Ventures and Eberg Capital as well as strategic investors across sports, gaming, entertainment, and media.
“It’s an incredible feeling to be back, and especially by popular demand,” said Mason Gordon, CEO and co-founder of SlamBall. “I want to thank SlamBall’s persistent and passionate fans for making this comeback possible and our investors for helping make the dream real. This is a true Cinderella story–only with helmets, pads and trampolines.”
SlamBall will relaunch with a six-week season this July in Las Vegas followed by a seventh playoff week. Domestic and international touring stops will follow. Talks are currently underway for distribution, while a docuseries about the league is in development via Mike Tollin’s Msm.
