Inactivity, which can lead to obesity, amongst young people is ever increasing worldwide.
For many young people the only time they get to be active and play sport is at school break-times.
Break-times are short with limited space – so sports like Tennis, Golf and Cricket are not usually played and expensive equipment is needed. Contact sports are restricted or banned in some schools as children can get hurt.
The game has been around for decades but has been played unofficially but now PATTBALL.COM is working to change this.
Moynul Ahmed from Pattball Foundation has come up with a solution - He is developing a popular game which is already being played in schools and communities. And that game is Pattball - a non-contact hand-eye co-ordination ball game where you hit/pat the ball (usually a tennis ball) against the wall via a bounce and a rally commences between players.
The game has been around for decades but has been played unofficially but now PATTBALL.COM is working to change this.
The public launch will take place on Saturday 13 June 2-5pm at Nisbet House Estate, Homerton, E9 6AJ.
Everyone is invited to attend, meet the team, take pictures, ask questions and participate in a game.
Moynul said: "Pattball is a fun and enjoyable game. It's cheap, very easy to set up and accessible to everyone. I am hoping we can take this product and reintroduce this to young and old, sports people and communities."
