Speedball is a fast-paced sport in which a player uses a racket to hit a ball tethered to a tall pole. The sport, which is related to both tennis and tetherball, originated in Egypt in the 1960s as a practice method for tennis players. Speedball is played by one person (super solo), between two people (singles), or between two teams of two people each (doubles). The Federation Internationale de Speedball (FISB; International Federation of Speedball) was formed in 1985 to govern the sport.
