The Tchoukball Charter

The Tchoukball Charter is the document that details exactly in what spirit tchoukball should be played. The creator of tchoukball, Dr Herman Brandt, intended tchoukball to be a tool to bring peace between people and countries, from the simplest most friendly encounter to the most competitive international fixture.

Tchoukball shows its 'Sporting Spirit'

Sporting Spirit A lot is said and written about sporting conduct and behaviour 'on court' from athletes across all sports. Tchoukball has always prided itself on the way its sports men and women behave, but what makes tchoukball special?

History of tchoukball

Herman Brandt Dr Hermann Brandt was an eminent Swiss biologist. It was through his research into the effects of physical activities that the idea of Tchoukball had its foundation.

In Dr Brandt's time, and arguably now as well, many sports produced shocking injuries that stopped even the strongest of athletes from participating further. After discussing these concerns in the book 'From Physical Education to Sport Through Biology', Dr Brandt presented his now famous paper 'A Scientific Criticism of Team Games'. This won him the coveted award of the 'Thulin Prize', presented at the University of Lisbon on August 16th 1970.
