What Is Catchball?
Catchball originated in Israel in the early 2000s as an accessible, team-based alternative to volleyball. Designed to make competitive sport more welcoming — especially for women entering or returning to athletics later in life — it replaces traditional spikes with catching and throwing the ball over the net.
What started as a grassroots movement quickly grew into organized leagues and international tournaments, empowering thousands of women to compete, connect, and rediscover their athletic edge.
Nowadays Catchball is popular nationwide and around the globe, and is also known as Kadureshet (כדורשת, Israel), Throwball (थ्रोबॉल, India), Cachibol (Mexico) and Качебол (Eastern Europe).
The game is played by two teams on a Volleyball Court, with 6 players on each side of the net. The objective is to pass the ball and ground it on the opponent's court, all while preventing them from doing the same. The main skills thar are being used in the game are serving, blocking and spiking.
Catchball promotes a healthier lifestyle and offers women the opportunity to socialize and meet friends through an empowering activity in a recreational environment and every woman over the age of 25 is welcome to join.
