Throwball

Throwball is a non-contact ball sport played across a net between two teams of seven players on a rectangular court. Throwball is popular in Asia, moreover on the Indian subcontinent and was played as a women's sport in Chennai (formerly Madras) during the 1940s. The game's roots are closely linked with the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) as are those of volleyball which, while older, shares many similarities with throwball. Rules were drafted in 1955 and India's first national level throwball championship was played in 1980.
