Have you got a Basse? Dagsverket might give one to you!



Basse is a really funny traditional Trøndelag ball game. We produce it in Dagsverket from 2008. 

You can play this oldschool game with your friends whenever you want or you can develop new tricks by yourself wherever you want. 

So what do you need?

You need a Basse what you can buy in the Trondheim Museum or you can prepare your own one. Check this video and see how you can make one and how you can start your jorney to the Basse Land.


Preparing Basse is not as difficult as you first think. 

The only think what you need is: good scissors, used bicycle tires and rope. 

I am really lucky because in Dagsverket I learnt how I can produce Basse. 



I was curious about what is the Secret of a Good Basse  so I asked one of our expert who has produced hundreds of this unique ball. 

" There is no special secret. Every Basse is based on a good raw material but the most important thing that you should be very patient during the peparation process and don't forget tie the knot as strong as you can."

In Dagsverket we are really care about that the Basse what we make will be perfect and you can enjoy the moment when you first try to play with it. You will feel why was this game so popular in the '70s. Every Basse is different and has own story so if you wondering what you can give as a sovenir to your frends what is represent Trøndelag now you might know the answer ;)
