Join us from Mexico City as we attend (and play in) the 2025 World Frontball Championships. We'll be joined by co-host Danielle Daskalakis - one of the best female handball athletes of all time, as we check out the event, meet the players and the guy who set the whole thing up - Jean-Michel Idiart.

Frontball is a handball variant - heavy ball, one wall, line to hit it above. Expect long sloggy rallies!
