About Walljam
The Walljam business model takes its inspiration from traditional popular ball games, such as football, tennis, basketball and rugby. Using technology, players can get involved in exciting new ball games, with the help of LED activated sensor targets that can be affixed to a wall or panel.
The platform offered by Walljam is simple, but effective, and gives users a great way to get fit, enjoy a social activity and improve technical skills. The business has grown across the UK since it was originally founded because the brand offers a more flexible and adaptable way of bringing physical activity into new spaces, and their model is adaptable to virtually any size venue or location.
