We aim to achieve this mission by uniting national organizations and working together to advance the following goals: - Improve yo-yoing on a competitive level to motivate current players and attract new ones. - Unite and help establish national associations and unions around the world and help them promote yo-yoing, organize national contests and organize local communities in their countries. - Improve the presentation of contests, unify the rules and judging system to entertain the public and attract new fans, sponsors and media around the world. - Organize and support competitions and activities of worldwide importance. - Support yo-yo companies to develop new and innovative designs and products. Help them build their brand and enter new markets and reach new customers. We know that yo-yo is mainly a toy and hobby, but we believe it is also amazing sports equipment with a great competition scene and huge potential. We will aim to keep this scene and yo-yo community easy to join, and friendly and enjoyed by all people regardless of gender, ethnic background, faith or culture. We are convinced that yo-yoing as a sport should present fair-play, sportsmanship and tolerance.
