Boomerang Team Sponsors 2014

Team Sponsorship Sends boomerang carnets® Out and Back Again

Eleven-Year Relationship

Boomerang carnets® has been a proud sponsor of the United States Boomerang Association (U.S.B.A.) and its world-class boomerang team since January, 2004. We discovered the professional team when we were launching our boomerang carnets® ATA Carnet brand in December, 2003.

Since then, boomerang carnets® (formerly boomerang freight® solutions) has sponsored the U.S.B.A. and its team through 6 World Cup Championships: Australia 2014, Brazil 2012, Italy in 2010 (U.S. Team brought home the World Championship), Seattle 2008, Japan 2006 and France in 2004.  In addition, we've sponsored several National Championship and regional tournaments.

An Emerging Sport With International Fans

The emerging sport has enthusiasts all over the world, from countries as far away as Japan, Brazil and Australia, to name a few.

The return flight of a boomerang inspires awe and wonder and the sport attracts athletes from many walks of life and corners of the world. The new   photos in our gallery below capture the spirit of the sport and our ongoing support. Boomerang Videos

The modern sport of boomerangs as we know it today began in the 1960s. Today, there are 25 countries with national boomerang organizations and a World Cup is held every two years. There are Individual tournaments (with Novice, Intermediate and Advanced divisions), Team Tournaments and informal games.

The USA Boomerang Team, selected by the United States Boomerang Association (USBA), has represented the United States in eighteen World Boomerang Championships; starting Down Under in 1981 with the first Australia vs. USA Boomerang Championship, and most recently Australia in 2014.  A US Team has won 11 out of 18 Championships.
