What is BulletBall?

BulletBall was invented by Marc Griffin and developed over his life’s course as an inclusive sport. Herein lies its story of creation, marketing, and success.

Marc Griffin and Delores created this game as a hobby in the mid-1980s and played it regularly at weekend and vacation gatherings with their friends and family members. To ensure players could remain comfortable yet competitive during playing sessions, they designed it so that sitting or standing could be chosen while choosing whether or not to sit while competing against an opponent of different color (marked by color on their side of the table). Like table tennis, its goal is returning the ball quickly to your opponent’s side of the table while trying to return it quickly back where it started!

After several years of hard work, Marc Griffin finally received his patent and launched a website to market and sell his invention – soon thereafter receiving orders from all around the world! Additionally, media attention helped promote sales.

In 2006, he appeared on American Inventor to pitch his invention. Though he didn’t win the competition, his appearance on American Inventor was enough to keep him going and keep him from giving up. Since then, it has become a popular wheelchair game used in senior olympics and physical therapy sessions worldwide – not to mention writing a book detailing his journey and inspiring many across the world.

Inventor Marc Griffin

Marc Griffin carries the burden of much. Not only did he devote years of his life to inventing Bulletball table game, he invested everything he owned into it as well, including selling his house, car and even wife’s wedding ring in order to sustain its development. He believed his invention could eventually become an Olympic sport – quite an audacious goal.

Marc and Delores developed this game during the mid-1980s to provide an engaging activity for friends and family during weekends or vacations. Players may sit or stand while using only their arms to move the ball back and forth across a table; their goal should be to return it as quickly as possible to your opponent’s side of the table (defined by its color) without taking too many hits against your own color side of the table (marked with color markers).

Griffin appeared on American Inventor in 2006 (not to be confused with Shark Tank which was inspired by Dragon’s Den) which featured inventors stepping onto a stage and pitching their products before an anonymous panel of judges, hoping for entrepreneurial interest, further development or potentially scoring production deals. The reality series only ran briefly.

Griffin may not have made the strongest pitch to make Bulletball an Olympic sport, but that didn’t stop him from persevering with his dream. To market the game and secure International Paralympic Committee approval for inclusion Sports’ therapeutic table game. Playable by all ages regardless of upper body mobility.

How to play
