What is jugger sport?

Jugger is a team sport that combines elements of rugby, gridiron football, and combat sports such as fencing. It was inspired by the 1989 film "The Blood of Heroes" and was developed in Germany in the 1990s.

In Jugger, two teams of five players each compete to score points by placing a ball, called the skull, into the opposing team's goal. The skull is a dog skull or a foam replica, and it serves as an object to be carried and scored with.

Players use padded weapons called pompfers to defend themselves and attack the opponent to gain possession of the skull. The use of pompfers allows for physical contact and combative elements in the game.

Jugger is played on a rectangular field with a center circle and two goal zones at each end. The game is fast-paced and requires a combination of physical agility, teamwork, and strategic thinking.

Jugger has gained popularity in Europe, Australia, and the United States, with competitive leagues and tournaments held regularly. It is a unique and exciting sport that offers a thrilling experience for both players and spectators.
