Crazy Table Sport: Watch The Weird German Game ‘Headis’ [Video]


If you love ping pong and soccer, you just might love the German game called Headis. All you need to do is grab that ping pong table out of the basement, make some room, and grab a soccer ball. Oh, and be prepared to use your head and neck violently as the paddle for the soccer ball.

Believe it or not, this German game isn’t just a thrown together fad sport that will disappear in a couple of months. According to ESPN, Headis has been around for eight years and doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere — except maybe overseas.

Players pick out strange names that could come straight out of Harry Potter. “Lord Voldehead” and “Headi Potter” are just a few of the names these hard-headed players choose to get attention and seem more intimidating, according to Bleacher Report.

This crazy blend of ping pong and heading a soccer ball has elite players jumping onto the tables to stay at the top. Literally. If you’re wondering why this daring German game hasn’t been seen in America yet, just give Headis some time. As more people become aware of Headis, the German game may take on an official American version.
