The sport that you might know as spikeball or roundnet, has been spotted on the Belgian fields since 2014. Back then the sport was mostly known as Trivolle. 

Roundnet was introduced in Belgium through Ultimate Frisbee, another great american sport. It gained popularity and quickly the first tournament popped up: “De Gouden Carolus Trivolle Cup”. This event returned annually and can be seen as the predecessor of the Belgian Championships.

Not only was there a rise of popularity in Belgium, but in the whole continent of Europe. In the year 2017 an ambitious young student named Kobe Seresia had the idea to gather all the European communities for the first time to share their love for the sport. And so they did: three months later the first European Championships took place in Belgium to compete for the first ever title of champions of Europe. Eleven countries participated in this milestone event. The event was won by a team that is still one of the top teams in Europe to this day: Optic Boom (Germany).

International friendships were made. But also in Belgium people founded each other through their love for the game. Eight young Belgian players that go by the names Fre Eskens, Wout Geeraerts, Pieter Meyers, Nathan Peeters, Gijs Vetters,  Willem Schoeters, Frederik Theunis and Kobe Seresia founded Roundnet Belgium.
