When we were young, we worshipped stars,

gleaming long-limbed gods

framed in the act of impossible flight.

For a time we tried to follow,

to carve out our own piece of sky

with a butter-smooth arc of an arm

and a Spalding ball glued to the fingertips…<>br

Seen from a British perspective, The Spalding Suite gets to the heart and soul of the gravity-defying game and delves into the hopes and dreams of those who play it. From the fleeting high of the score and the robust camaraderie of the team, to the

poignant lows of a body too worn to play the game.
