tchoukball
pronounced jukeball
Tchoukball is an indoor team sport developed in the 1970s by Swiss biologist Dr. Hermann Brandt, who believed that "The objective of all physical activities is not to make champions, but make a contribution to building a harmonious society". His aim was to develop a team sport which did not involve the horrific injuries which he viewed as plaguing other sports.
A Utopian sport that offers opportunities for everyone from 7 to 77 to play, no matter what their physical condition. played with one ball and two rebound frames on either sides of a normal sized court. points are scored my shooting the ball at the frame in a way that it does not hit out of bounds, hit the crease, or get caught by the opposing team. there are no interceptions in this game, along with no physical contact.
