Getting started

Geeignet für Suitable for people who like short outdoor games, disc feel, team coordination and simple rules.

Cost Medium for a KanJam set; almost no recurring cost afterwards. Low if a set and disc are already available. More recreation, campus or intramural offer than classic club. For first rounds a safe open space and a portable set are enough.
