Historical development of Speed ball sport:
The game started as a recreational game on the beaches of Alexandria (Egypt), it was then called "Beach-ball".
Mr.Lotfy started to develop the rules of the new ball and racket sport and named it the "Turning-ball".
The first official competition was made in the summer of 1962 in the city of Port-Saiid in Egypt.
The Turning-ball was registered officially as a new sport invented by Mr. Mohamed Lotfy in Egypt in 1962.
Mr. Lotfy gradually improved the equipment of the sport till it reached its present state and obtained the United states' official patent for the new sport in 1975 and it was at that time when he called the sport "Speed ball".
Mr. Lotfy founded the Egyptian Speed ball federation in 1984 and started the all Egypt Speed ball championship in the same year.
In 1985 he visited several countries in Europe and Asia and made several demonstrations by Egyptian players, he founded the International Speed ball Federation with joint efforts of Mr. Renee' KIPPERT (the father of the FFEPMM) and Mr. DEMOLLIEN from France.
