Season 2026 kicks off across 8 qualifiers

Eight qualifying events across South Africa, Botswana, Denmark, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, India, and Hungary set the stage for the international championship.

The 2026 IDSL season runs across eight qualifier weekends between February and November, with the final international championship in December. Every school-affiliated player aged 9 to 18 is eligible to enter their local qualifier; coaches register their roster through the schools admin panel.

This season expands the qualifier circuit from five countries to eight. The Indian qualifier joins for the first time, alongside an additional Danish event reflecting the strong showing from Nordic schools last year. The format remains the same — five graded levels per age band, with a treble-tipped points system that rewards consistency over single-throw heroics.

Follow the Events page for dates, venues, and RSVP. Schools wanting to register a roster can use the contact form on the homepage — we'll be in touch within two working days.
