The Mission

Outmatched is looking for the best athletes in America — or anyone who thinks they can work hard enough to become Olympians in 2028. Between now and LA2028, we are going to build the foundation and train these athletes to compete for Gold.

  • Document every rep, every loss, every win — via Podcasts, a Social Content Series, a real-time documentary (think Drive to Survive), network TV and more.
  • If we do it right, we don't just show up and play in the Olympics — we podium.
  • With enough fans, we bring a new professional sport to the United States in 2029, giving athletes a new track to compete at the highest level professionally.
The Roadmap to Gold
Now — Late 2025

Recruitment

I'm an
Athlete.

The Pitch
They have the technique.
We have pure athleticism.
For your entire life, you've been subliminally training for a sport you've never played.

You have the downhill speed of a running back, the off-platform whip of a shortstop, the footwork of a point guard, the hops of an outside hitter in volleyball, and the violence of an edge rusher.

The rest of the world thinks American handball is a joke because we don't have a 50-year history in the sport. They think we are outmatched. We are going to show them what happens when American physics take the court.

We aren't looking to build a recreational team. We are hunting for the starting 7 who will defend home soil and shock the world at the LA28 Olympics. If you have the hardware, we will install the software.

Who We Are Hunting For — We don't care if you don't know the rules yet. We care about raw, undeniable physical metrics.
Position 01
The Wings
Cornerbacks · Lacrosse Attackmen · Point Guards · Shortstops

You are twitchy, explosive, and live in the fast break. You have the vertical leap to jump out of the gym from impossible angles. Speed is your primary weapon — and every possession is a highlight reel waiting to happen.

Position 02
The Backcourt
Quarterbacks · Pitchers · Forwards

You are a dual-threat weapon. You can process chaos in half a second, change directions on a dime, and you have an absolute cannon attached to your shoulder. You see the floor before the play develops.

Position 03
The Pivot
Linebackers · Tight Ends · Post Players

You are 230+ pounds of bad intentions. You live in the trenches. You take the hits, set the picks, and clear the space. You are the engine inside the machine — the reason the play works at all.

The Upset.

The Pitch
The Garage Startup of
the Olympic Movement.
If someone offered you to partner with the 1992 Dream Team before they ever stepped on the court — would you have gone for it?

Right now, USA Team Handball is the most underfunded governing body in American Olympic sports. We are competing against European teams that operate like government-funded machines. They look at our budget and think we are outmatched.

We look at the landscape and see the greatest market inefficiency in global sports. Outmatched is hacking the system — taking elite American crossover athletes with 36-inch verticals and off-platform throwing mechanics, and putting them through a professional training incubator.

We aren't asking for a handout. We are offering a partnership. In 2028, the Summer Olympics are coming to our backyard in Los Angeles. We are looking for foundational partners to turn Handball into the #1 most talked-about sport at LA2028.

How We Win Together — This isn't a logo-slap sponsorship. Your brand becomes part of the DNA of the ultimate underdog story.
Tier 01
Foundation Partners

You are funding the plane tickets, the shoes, and the training facilities. Your brand is quite literally building the runway for these athletes. You are on the ground floor — before anyone else — when this story goes global.

Tier 02
Media Integration

Access to a highly engaged, sports-obsessed audience via the Outmatched Content Series. We integrate your brand into the grit, the combines, and the raw reality of building a national team from scratch.

Tier 03
League Builders

For strategic investors and venture capital. We aren't just building a team for 2028 — we are laying the groundwork for a domestic professional league designed to capture the post-Olympic momentum and hold it.

The Pitch
The Ultimate
Crossover Event.
Gym Class Rules. Olympic Stakes.

Remember middle school gym class? That chaotic game where the PE teacher basically mixed basketball, soccer, and dodgeball? You could run, jump, throw as hard as humanly possible — and physical contact was absolutely encouraged.

Now take that exact energy and replace the 7th graders with the most freakish, elite athletes on the planet.

Picture this: Travis Kelce coming across the middle, dropping his shoulder into LeBron James, and whipping a 90mph jump-throw at the keeper in goal. That is the vibe. That is Team Handball.

It is the ultimate "What If" sports debate brought to life. We are taking your favorite athletes from the gridiron, the hardwood, and the diamond — putting them on the same court and letting them clash. NFL All-Pros and NBA high-flyers, stepping out of their element, getting humbled, and then figuring out how to completely dominate the rest of the world.

We are building the most entertaining sports product on the planet right here in Southern California, and we are documenting every single hit, miss, and viral moment. Don't wait until 2028 to jump on the bandwagon.
