It believed that the Japanese game called Kemari developed from Chinese ball game in the 7th century. They had to keep the ball from touching the ground juggling it with their feet and passing it from one to another.

 Today the game of Kemari is still played by Japanese enthusiasts.

The Romans copied the Greek game and brought it up to the next level adding many tricks and passing combinations to the game. Harpastum means "the small ball game". It was played with a hard ball of 8 inches in diameter by 5-12 players on a rectangular field marked by boundary lines and split by a center line.

 

The game of Calico was played in Italian cities such as Venice and Florence in the 16th and 17th centuries. However the similarity of Calcio and the Roman game of Harpastum is obvious. Two teams of rich aristocrats (27 players in each team) would attempt to force the ball through openings at either end of a city square. They could use both the feet and hands.

The Romans introduced Harpastum into France around 50 BCE. The French took the game and developed their own version called La Choule or La Soule that means "the sun".

 The game was played on Sundays until sunset
