What is Teqball?
Teqball is a dynamic game that blends the skill of football (soccer) with the precision of table tennis, played on a specially designed curved table, called a teq table. In this, players use any part of their body except their hands and arms to hit the ball over the net with the aim of defeating their opponents.
The game can be played in singles or doubles (team) formats, with players allowed to touch the ball three times before returning it, ensuring that there are no consecutive touches with the same part of the body. .
