【TCHOUKBALL】Emerging Sports from Switzerland
Tchoukball was invented by a Swiss man named Hermann Brandt in the 1970s. It advocates that there should be no physical contact between men and women, and that no collision, grabbing or interception should occur. Hence, this ball sport is known as "gentleman's ball," and its gameplay combines elements of basketball, volleyball and squash.
