Tchoukball (pronounced “CHUKE-ball”) is a team sport invented by the Swiss biologist Dr. Hermann Brandt. Over the space of three decades, Dr. Brandt combined elements of several sports, including team handball and jai alai, with his philosophies of teamwork, mutual respect, and nonaggression. He presented this new sport to the public in 1970, when it was awarded the Phulin Prize by the International Federation on Physical Education (FIEP). Tchoukball received immediate international recognition.

Tchoukball is designed to be accessible to anyone who can run, throw, or catch a ball. Although it rewards practice, strength and agility, it offers a setting in which people of all statures, ages, and levels of experience or physical ability can play as equals.
