Roundnet is taking off worldwide. It needs an international federation to reach its full potential.

 

The IRF’s mission is to advance the sport of roundnet by building an infrastructure for international competition in line with the Olympic Model. We are an independent, non-profit organization based on volunteer support.

Growth through National Governing Bodies.

We promote international competition and collaboration, helping countries take roundnet to the next level. This means establishing shared rules, rankings, and standards for international play that allow the sport to scale.
