Firstly, Thank You for your interest in Tchoukball and for visiting our website.
When Alex French and I decided to start Pompey Tchoukball club in January 2006 our main aim was to rekindle the flame of Tchoukball in Portsmouth and Southern Hampshire. I believe we have now ignited interest in Tchoukball again in Portsmouth with the club growing from 6 players at the first training session to the 4 adult teams (3 men, 1 ladies).
The main ethos of Pompey Tchoukball Club is that playing Tchoukball should be fun as well as competitive; we believe this is the only way to attract new players whilst retaining our existing players. I believe Tchoukball is the true sport for all, where men, women and children can play against each other, using skill rather than strength to win the game.
On a personal note I started playing Tchoukball in the Southern Region Tchoukball Association (S.R.T.B.A) league in 1986. I represented Great Britain (GB) in 1990 World Tournament and 1992 European Tournament. I recently had a few years away from Tchoukball where I played many other sports but could never find one with the sportsmanship or enjoyment I get from Tchoukball.
Tchoukball is unlike other team sports, this is mainly due to the unique style of the game where you can score at both ends of the court throughout the entire game. Players are never inactive during a game of Tchoukball as they are constantly involved. Every member of the team is part of the attack and the defence.
If you would like to know more about this unique sport come along to training on Tuesday nights at Portsmouth High School for Girls from 7:30pm - 8:30pm (Beginners) and 8:30pm - 9:30pm (Experienced Adults)
Thanks again!
Andy Wolfe
