What do you get when you cross table tennis and soccer, besides a big headache?
“Headis,” the sport invented in Germany, combines table tennis and the heading of association football. (https://m.facebook.com/headissports)
This game is played at a regular table tennis table so it combines tactical elements of table tennis and the legwork of tennis.

Headis – header table tennis is played similar to table tennis, where each play starts with a serve and is followed by returns until one player scores a point. Each player alternately serves two times regardless of who scores the point. A match is played in a best of three sets format, where each set is played for 11 points, and the player to first win two sets is the winner of the match.
This new sport was invented in 2016 by René Wegner who was a sports student in Saarbrücken (Germany) at that time. In a public swimming place the soccer pitch was occupied so he choose to play at the table tennis table using only the head.
