Ep 8: Jombola, That's A Sport?

Jombola, a homegrown sport developed in 2006, was designed to be versatile. The unique game combines the skills of tennis, squash, and ping pong and the points system of badminton to create a sport anybody can play - all you need to start exercising is pick up the racquet. Founded by Sukdev Singh, the sport utilises the badminton courts already found in schools, playgrounds, and parks, and features a specially designed racquet and foam ball that players can slow down or speed up to suit their playing style.

That's A Sport is a monthly series where we explore and discover lesser known sports from around the globe.
