Paddlezlam is an amazing game. If one were to take Pickleminton, Cornhole, Can Jam and put them in a blender….you would end up with Paddlezlam. This game is not only great because you can play it almost anywhere (except in the dining room), but for the fact it fun to no end. There is no amazing athletic ability needed to play this fun game that requires solid teamwork with communication and some luck at times.
From the first time I played it, I was hooked. Then I presented it to physical educators and student majors and they did not want to stop playing, until they were forced to leave the room for the next presentation.
I am truly glad to say that this is an up and coming game, that people will have a great time playing. I look forward to hearing about Paddlezlam tournaments in the future…I will be there!

PaddleZlam is our new favorite family game. We play it at just about every family gathering whether it’s in the backyard, tailgating before a baseball game, or even during our most recent family and friends ski trip, when we had our first “SnowZlam” event! Talk about a blast! This summer we’re hoping to get a group together to play on the beaches of Lake Michigan. (I can’t wait to play in the sand.) What I love about the game is that it’s very active. Played competitively, you get in a great workout and I really appreciate not even realizing I’m working out because it’s so much FUN! I, also, love that it’s a challenging game and that you can really see your skill level progress, with practice. The fact that it requires a great deal of teamwork is definitely another factor that makes a favorite over some of the other yard-type games. It always feels better to win as a result of teamwork! I’m a huge fan of PaddleZlam and am SO glad we learned to play! Now, I just want to share it with as many people as I can.
