What is "colpbol"

Colpbol is a team sport invented in 1996-1997 by Valencian physical education teacher Juanjo Bendicho. Colpbol is characterized by its great dynamism, integration and egalitarianism, with all team members having equal importance, and with mixed gender teams the rule rather than the exception.

Colpbol is similar to Valencian pilota and handball (in that players strike the ball by hand) as well as futsal (in terms of size of the playing field, teams and goals).

Since its invention, the popularity of colpbol has spread from Valencia to the rest of Spain and to some countries in South America. There is a youth colpbol league in Spain with more than 3000 participants.
