Common card · No. 430361

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, 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. Throwball shares many elements with both volleyball and Newcomb ball. Throwball rules were first drafted in 1955 and India's first national championship of the sport was played in 1980. The International Throwball Federation is the highest governing body for the sport.
