The game reached Bangalore in the 1950s .Kamal Goshwami, a sports enthusiast from Rajsthan, organized a national level throwball championship in 1980. In 1985 the Throwball Federation of India (TFI) was formed along with the Indian National throwball championship and by 1990 Throwball in India had become a sport for both men and women.
