Angleball is an American indoor and field sport that was developed during World War 2 at Brown University by collegiate Hall of Fame football and basketball coach Rip Engle (March 26, 1906 – March 7, 1983), as a way to keep service men and women, students and athletes fit. Engle served as the head football coach at Brown University from 1944 to 1949 and at Pennsylvania State University from 1950 to 1966. Engle was also the head basketball coach at Brown from 1942 to 1946. Angleball is light contact and because of its unique rules that emphasize skill, accuracy and placement over size, height and speed, angleball has been called the best group fitness activity ever developed for mixed ages and genders of up to 40 people. Currently, angleball is played for conditioning in the NFL and for fun by colleges, schools, camps and all-ages groups across United States and in Canada, Africa, India and Asia. Angleball is a high fitness variation of North America's first sport, the Native American sport of anejodi, which also inspired the French-Canadian sport of lacrosse; however, while lacrosse substitutes Anejodi's goalpost and target with miniature European style soccer goals, angleball keeps the goalposts and targets but removes the sticks since angleball is a light contact sport with a focus on fitness and safety of the players. Modern angleball equipment is manufactured in the United States, and distributed, by the American Angleball company
