Jugger is a team sport that was born in Germany in the early 90's. He arrived in Spain nine years ago and the Region of Murcia six years ago.
The Jugger spread quickly through different cities of Spanish geography like Madrid, Valencia or Zaragoza, and soon jumped to the rest of the national panorama.
There is currently a tournament circuit at the Spanish level.
With a population of players that exceeds 300, Murcia has become a true focus of this sport with a great hobby in constant growth.
Proof of this is that in 2013, 2015 and 2016 sent a team to Deutsche Meisterschaft, the main German tournament of the sport, getting the top position of 64 participating teams in 2013 and 2015, with the Region of Murcia now the highest region of Jugger of Europe.
Jugger is played with a ball called Jugg, used to convert points, and a variety of sticks known as Pompfen.
All Pomfen are covered by soft materials to cushion the impacts.
The playing field is irregular octagon shape and measures 20 x 40 meters.
The goal of the game is to convert points by inserting the Jugg into the base of the opposing team.
Each base is located at one end of the field.
The Pomfen are used to block the players of the opposing team, preventing the opposing runner from scoring points and taking care that the opponent is not blocked by opponents.
Regarding the development in the Region of Murcia, the Jugger has always been in the hands of the Association Murcian Jugger (AMUJ), which since February 2011 has been organizing numerous events in order to publicize this sport among young people.
Account for this for 4 years with the support of the City of Molina de Segura, which helps you to spread this sport with the transfer of the El Romeral Municipal Sports Center.
