What is Throwball??

Picture
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 closely 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. 

History Of Throwball

Throwing a Ball across two persons or two groups of people was a recreational play observed during 1930s in Australia and England. It was accepted as a very popular play during the leisure period, especially by the women. Therefore, bsically this Throwball play was known to be as women game. It is believed that this Throwball reached India through YMCA,most probably during 1940s. Initially this play was restricted to chennai and later in 1950s reached Bangalore.

Dr. H. C Buck, Head of the Dept., YMCA College of Physical Education, Madras, formulated preliminary guidelines for the first time, during 1955. Almost after 15 years, this play of Throwball was established for both Men & Women for the first time under the Auspices of Throwball Federation Of India(TFI) at Bangalore, led by

Ministry of Sports, Govt. of India, has recognised TFI as National Level Sports Organisation, in 1989.

Br.A.Dayanand , another sports lover and promoter from Gulbarga University has edited First Copy of Rules and Regulations of Throwball game in 1990, under the directions of T.
