History of Tchoukball Malaysia

Tchoukball is a new sport in Malaysia. It has been promoted for 3 years in Malaysia. It is currently promoted in Malaysia by a group of youths with support of a few churches. We were introduced to the game by Jeff Ang through a Sports Ministry meeting 3years ago. Since then, we’ve found tchoukball an ideal sport to excel in. Because it is new in Malaysia, it is easier for us to master the sport. As long as we know how to play the sport, we can teach others to play the sport. Some of the youth that are promoting tchoukball in Malaysia are also qualified B-license tchoukball coaches. It’s simple to get a coaching certificate in tchoukball too. So now with these qualifications, it is possible for us to start to coach a team or even go into schools to teach tchoukball.
In these 3 years, we’ve already promoted tchoukball to a few schools & many churches. We’ve also been to many international tournaments. Our team has been to about 4 international tournaments in these 3 years. We’ve also had many tchoukball friendly matches with Singapore too. Every year, we’ll also organize a Tchoukball Tournament for the tchoukball teams in Malaysia to come and compete. Tchoukball has allowed us to make many friends around the country & also the world. So the excitement in tchoukball for us is all year round.
Tchoukball is also a very good tool to use for ministry. Because of this sport, many of the players that have come in touch with this game have heard of the gospel. It has been a great opportunity for us to share the gospel through tracts & also word of mouth. Through tchoukball, 3 of the tchoukball players have also receive Jesus as their Lord. As I’ve said, with tchoukball coaching certificates, we can also go into schools or form a team to coach. These can also be great opportunities & strategies to reach out to our community. Not only can we do out-reach, we can also use Tchoukball to do in-reach. For example, we can disciple believers in tchoukball trainings, help them in their walk with God & build greater bond among youth.
I hope this will encourage you to use tchoukball as a great tool too. I strongly recommend you to take up Tchoukball, if you are looking for another tool to do out-reach & in-reach. I strongly recommend this sport to you, because Tchoukball has benefited us a lot.
