the story
During the summer holidays in 2010,
founder of you.fo Bas Ruyssenaars
recalled a game he had invented and
played when he was young. Bas and his son
started improvising on the beach and the
idea for you.fo was born.
Once back home Bas set up a team of
industrial designers, specialists in aerodynamics, sport innovation professionals
and trainee sports teachers. After years of
concept development and fine-tuning,
you.fo is now ready for the market!

you.fo pattern play
you.fo pattern play is a work-out by playing a
‘pattern’ with two or more players by throwing and
catching the ring on several marked spots on the
playing field. You place 3 or more markers on each
side of the playing field. Once player A has thrown
the ring starting at marker 1A, he or she runs to
marker 2A. Player B catches the ring at marker 1B,
throws
the ring in the direction of 2A and runs to 2B.
Player A catches the ring at 2A, throws to 2B and runs
to 3A... and so on.
