'''Tchoukball''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|tʃ|uː|k|b|ɔː|l}} {{respell|CHOOK|ball}}) is an indoor team sport, played by teams of 7 players. It was developed in Switzerland in the 1970s, and is most popular in [[Singapore]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Taiwan]], but has become an international sport with national federations in over 60 countries. It is governed by the [[#International Tchoukball Federation (FITB)|International  Tchoukball Federation]] (FITB), which was founded in 1971. 

It is usually played with a ball on an indoor court with a small elastic rebounder on each end.  Teams score by bouncing the ball against the rebounder and getting it to bounce on the floor of the court without being intercepted by the defending team. The sport was designed to limit injuries, and physical contact between players is prohibited.
