The Trangleball® Blog page is the official blog for Trangleball®-related questions and comments. Most all replies to questions pertaining to Trangleball® will be answered here by Mark Miller, the inventor of the game.
The equipment for Trangleball® includes a 14-inch high pyramid and 6 "Mini Trangleballs" each about the size of a softball. There are rules for Trangle Soccer, Trangle Baseball, Trangle Basketball, Trangle Stoopball, 1-on-1, 2-on-2, and the traditional 3-on-3 versions of Trangleball®. Yes, I know, it sounds wacky. So many games from such a simple device – a pyramid in the middle of a circle. And yet, as so well-illustrated, Trangleball® is a genuine invitation to active, creative, athletic play. Mark Miller explains that the real "sport" is the 3-on-3 version, which he calls a "3-dimensional handball" game. There are two teams, with a member of each team in a different sector. When a ball is served, by throwing against the Trangle, the opponent can catch the ball and rebound it onto the Trangle, or pass it to one of his teammates in another sector.
Trangleball® is the very stuff of fun – a small innovation that lends itself to the creation of apparently endless possibilities for active, physical engagement. It looks good enough to be a candidate for the development of a whole series of professional sports, and open and flexible enough to be played in backyard, street and playground.
