Introduction
Welcome to KINBALL Unit
This sport was invented by a Canadian PE teacher called Mario Demers, in 1986. Despite the fact that it is still quite unknown in our country (only since year 2000), it already exists the “Spanish Kinball Association” and different championships and competitions are held all over the country.
It’s very popular in other countries and in fact, the Kinball is likely to be an Olympic game in less than ten years time. DO YOU THINK SO?
