Jugger is a competitive team-based sport. Two teams compete to gain possession of the “Skull” (the game ball), and score points. Players wield foam weapons, which resemble swords, shields and chains. One unarmed player from each team, the “Qwik”, carries the skull while the other players protect them and attempt to tag opponents. Points are scored by getting the skull into the goal without being tagged by the opposing team.

Jugger is an inclusive and community driven sport. Juggers play in mixed gender teams and equipment is built by hand by the players themselves. Fair play and good sportsmanship are highly regarded and promoted in Jugger, and on the field, players are largely responsible for refereeing themselves.
