Kneeball (or the Game of Kings)
Kneeball combines the skills, intensity, strategy and gamesmanship of prominent sports such as soccer, rugby and basketball. Two three-man teams take to a narrow, passage-like arena and face-off with each side attempting to score by hitting the other's "back wall". Contact with the ball may only occur using the knee or head.

History This artform dates back to the early part of the 21st century, as it became an alternative to inter-gang hiphop style dance offs along the eastern seaboard of Australia. Wollongong, New South Wales is commonly assumed to be the birthplace of this amazing sport and is looked upon as a mecca to its many followers.

Rules 1. The objective of Kneeball is to strike the opponent's "back wall" with the ball. A regulation field is 20 metres long by 2 metres wide. 2. It is only legal to strike the ball with the head or knee. 3. Teams take it in alternate turns to strike the ball in an attempt to hit the "back wall". 4. A player may catch a ball struck by the opposition team. If done so, that player may take three unimpeded steps toward the opponent's back wall. 5. Players may pass the ball backwards to team-mates to allow a free kick to occur. 6. A player may complete a forward pass to a teammate, but only if the ball passes a defending player. 7. Once a point is scored, the non-scoring side must knee the ball to the other side. This kick must pass half-court. 8. First team to reach 7 points wins.

Founding Fathers Kneeball has produced many superstar players, idolised by the viewing masses.

Mike "Minority" Mendoza: First player of coloured origin to play kneeball at the highest level. Nick "The Wall" Schmidt: Kneeball's most prominent defender. James "The Rabbit" Rafferty: Kneeball's hairiest, burrowing offensive weapon. James "The Gay Redhead" Weavers: the first redhead, and shortest player ever to play kneeball. Oscar "Sweatyballs" Garratt: Uses overproductive sweat glands to great effect in attack. Danny "Fumble Fingers" Jones: underrated, but reliable defender. John "Big John" Smith: First player to sustain a career-ending knee injury through kneeball. John "American John" Wells: Tallest professional kneeballer ever. Great use of height and his head in offense. Nat "Token Girl" Kelman: first female kneeballer ever.

The Future of Kneeball

Many in the game's organisational body, The Professional Knee-Ball Association (PKBA), hope to not only take Kneeball to the masses via a large television viewing rights agreement, but also to make the PKBA fully professional. There are also rumours of Kneeball appearing at the 2012 Olympic Games.
