Zero Gravity Sports League In Development

Filed in archive Sports by Jonathan G. Cohen on December 09, 2005


The Zero Gravity Corporation, a space-tourism company currently providing weightless flights for paying customers out of 12 U.S. cities, is planning to launch a TV reality show (circa 2010) based on a new sport designed to be played in a zero-G environment. Coined "Space Champions", the show will chronicle the training of athletes to play "Paraball" (details unavailable) in a league initially comprised of eight teams.
