thumb|The base format of a cageball pitch.
'''Cageball''' is a sport invented by the football coach Jörg Berger in October 2002, seeking a way to play association football despite bad winter conditions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://3t.no/3t-tilbyr/cageball/|title=Cageball|publisher=3T-Trening|language=nb|access-date=23 December 2023}}</ref> The sport resembles Nike's Secret Tournament campaign.
== Playing field == Cageball is played on artificial turf. The playing field is usually 23x15 metres, but can vary due to hall constraints. The entire field is surrounded by a one-metre-high wall or fence, out of which extends a net. This way, the ball is always in play, obsoleting all out-of-bound rules. Usually, a team consists of three field players and a goalkeeper, the latter which can also assume a "flying" role.
== Rules == Normal football rules apply when it comes to fouls and deliberate hand usage. Free kicks must be immediately carried out. The offside is not observed, and there are no throw-ins or goal kicks.
