Kin-Ball, is a team sport created in Quebec, Canada in 1986, in which

the main distinctive characteristics are the big size of the ball (about
1.5 meters of diameter) and that the matches are played between
three teams at the same time instead of traditional one-vs-one like the
most of the team games.

The game starts with the ball in the middle, and one team sets up to
serve. The serving formation is as follows: two or three players kneel
down facing each other with heads down and arms outstretched. The
ball is placed on their outstretched arms.

The server approaches the ball and says OMNIKIN & another colour
(e.g. OMNIKIN Black) before striking the ball with the fist in an
upward motion. When the colour is announced and the ball is in the air,
the corresponding team must catch the ball before it hits the ground.
If successful, that team sets up to serve immediately. If that team
does not succeed, one point is awarded to each of the two other teams,
and that same team serves the ball.

Server must say OMNIKIN and the colour of a team before


hitting the ball.

The server hits the ball in an outward or upward trajectory,


never in a downward direction.

Three members of the same team have to be in contact with the


ball before the serve.

Once the team has had 3 contacts with the ball, the server only
has 5 seconds to serve.

A point is given to the other teams if a player blocks another


player intentionally. Accidental contact results in a re-serve.
