The leather ball was invented by the Chinese in the 4th century BC. They filled these balls with bristles. This arose when one of the five great rulers of China in ancient times, Fu-Hi, a passionate inventor, caked several hard roots together to form a spherical mass which he covered with pieces of rawhide. He had just invented the ball. The first thing we did with it was simply play passing it from hand to hand. They did not use it in championships. Mesoamerican cultures were the first to use bouncing balls, as they invented rubber and latex balls.
