It is usually played with a ball on an indoor court with a small elastic rebounder on each end.

The sport was designed to limit injuries, and physical contact between players is prohibited.

Tchoukball was created in Switzerland by Hermann Brandt,[1] who was concerned by the numerous serious injuries among athletes resulting from sports prone to aggression and physical contact.

The name of tchoukball (pronounced as "choukball", with a silent "t") comes from the onomatopoeic "tchouk" sound the ball makes when it bounces off a frame.

[4] Physical contact between players is prohibited, and defenders may not attempt to intercept the attacking team's passes.

The shooters are generally in charge of shooting although in some cases the defender can also take the shot.

When a pass is not completed (the ball touches the ground or goes out of bounds), the other team gets possession.
