Throwball is a non-contact ball sport played across a net between two teams of nine players on a rectangular court.
Throwball is popular in Asia, especially on the Indian subcontinent, and was first played in India as a women's sport in Chennai during the 1940s. Like volleyball, the game's roots are linked with the YMCA. Both volleyball and Newcomb ball, while older games, share many similarities with throwball. Throwball rules were first drafted in 1955 and India's first national level championship was played in 1980.
The International Throwball Federation is the highest governing body for the sport.[1]
