STUDENT’S SIGNATURE
 INTRODUCTION
Throw ball 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. Both volleyball and Newcomb ball,
while older games, share many similarities with
throw ball. Throw ball rules were first drafted in
1955 and India’s first national level championship
was played in 1980.

The International Throw ball Federation is the

highest governing body for the sport.
 HISTORY
According to the Throw ball Federation of India
(TFI), throw ball is thought to derive from a
recreational sport popular among women in
England and Australia during the 1930s.[2] The
YMCA brought the game to Chennai, where it was
played as a women’s sport in the 1940s.[citation
needed]

Harry Crowe Buck, who founded the YMCA

College of Physical Education in Chennai, drafted
guidelines for throw ball rules and regulations in
1955. The game reached Bangalore in the 1950s.[3]
The Throw ball Federation of India (TFI) was
formed along with the Indian National Throw ball
Championship. By 1990, Throw ball in India
developed separate competitions for both men and
women.
Throw ball is played in gym class, colleges, and
clubs throughout Asia, and it has been slowly
gaining popularity in other countries.
 COURT
The playing court is somewhat larger than a
volleyball court at 12.20 by 18.30 metres
(40.03 ft × 60.04 ft) with a neutral box 1 metre
(3 ft 3.37 in) on either side of the centre. The height
of the net is 2.2 metres (7.22 ft) or 2.3 metres (7.55
ft).

BALL
The ball is similar to volleyball, but may be slightly
larger. While in volleyball the ball is hit or volleyed
throughout play, in throw ball the ball is thrown
over the net, where a member of the other team
tries to catch the ball and quickly throw it back
across the net.
 TEAMS
An official game is played between two teams of
nine or seven players. A minimum of three or five
substitute players are allowed for each team, which
can make a maximum of three substitutions during
a set. A team can take two time-outs of 30 seconds
each during a set. The first team to score 25 points
wins a set. A match is three sets.

SERVICE
Service is within five seconds after the referee
whistles and is done from the service zone, without
crossing the end line. A player can jump while
serving the ball. The service ball must not touch the
net. Double touch is not allowed for receiving the
service ball and players stay in 2-3-2 position
during the serve.
 RALLY
During a rally, the ball must be caught at once with
both hands, without any movement of the ball
within the hands (dubs) and the ball should not
have contact with the ground. The ball is thrown
within three seconds after being caught, only from
above the shoulder line and only with one hand. A
player can jump when throwing the ball, which can
touch the net (but not the antenna). The player
should have contact with the ground when catching
the ball. However, the ball is not touched by any
part of the body other than the palm when catching
or throwing (body touch). The ball can neither be
shifted (passed) to the left or right nor deliberately
pushed. Two players are not allowed to catch the
ball simultaneously.
 UNIFORMS
In official play, teams wear shorts and jersey
uniform with numbers only in the range of 1–12
printed front and back.[7]

THROW BALL
Throw ball is a non-contact ball sport played across
a net between two teams of nine players on a
rectangular court. Throw ball 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. Wikipedia

Antenna:
Antennas must be put on both sides of the net,

 HOW TO PLAY?
The side that wins the toss gets to choose between
court and service. There are nine players on each
side who must line up in the correct order. A set
allows 3 to 5 substitutions for each team, with a
maximum of 3 substitutions per team.

Each side in a set may call a time-out at any

moment for rest and talk. Every time-out will be 30
seconds long. When you catch the ball, grip it with
both hands and swing it towards your right
shoulder above your head in a swinging motion (As
most of them are right-handed). Then throw the
ball with your right arm.
Well, my notion for covering long distances, which
I used to recommend to you. Catch the ball, then
run near the net before throwing it a significant
distance.
Another option, if you have a lot of practice, is to
throw at a 45-degree angle, as you may have seen
Javelin throwers do to cover a long distance.

Servers deliver their services behind the backline to

any region on the other side. The serving team can
only score one point when the opposing team
makes a mistake.

Even service follows specific guidelines, such as

following the whistle of the referee at the start of
the game.
 THROW BALL
