Who made Soccer Basketball?

Soccer Basketball is widely used in physical education programs, offering a fresh take on traditional sports. Its popularity stems from its ability to engage students and promote critical thinking, making it a staple in many PE curriculums.

Soccer Basketball's core gameplay

The game is played on a court with a soccer ball. Active players, primarily from the "lions" group, can move anywhere except behind the baseline. They must use soccer-style dribbling, while goalies, restricted to the baseline, can catch and throw. Scoring varies: 1 point for kicking the ball into the wall, 2 points for a precise throw, and 3 points for a basket. Fouls are penalized with free kicks or throws.
