Invented: 1998 (Messers.Jon Cilliers and Sven Axelrad)
1999: First outdoor game conducted…two on two match between Cilliers, Halgreen, Chang and (result=an epic fail…from then on the sport returned indoors)
2003: arrival of the young Gabriel Phillips. No one knew at this stage what a profound impact upon the sport he would have in later years
Mid 2004: Killball went into what seemed to be it’s final hour as founding father Jon Cilliers abandoned it’s calling to pursue the secret training of his own team…young warriors Zac, Ben and Nathan (rumour has it that Zac’s first word was “Killball”)
2004-2006: No matches were played…the ancient art of Killball was neglected and the passion grew cold
2007: a young, red headed warrior, filled with fire and the stories of past victories, began searching out men with the necessary skills as he began crafting together a side that would become known as the “unbeatables”.
2007-2008: strict weekly training regiment…slight alterations of the 1998 Battle Code was enforced as the old slow and at times cumbersome version of the sport gave way to a much more aggressive, quick and spectator friendly game.
End of 2008: First player of the year (Mike Alexander) announced as Killball becomes a recognized COGS youth sport
2009: Captaincy handed over to Mike Alexander, and vice captain is Ryan Dinkele (a gifted defender, with the speed of a mongoose and the tenacity of a duiker…basically the vice captains role is to hide the ball after each week’s game from the Sunday school 5 year olds)
2010: Brad King takes over the chairmenship role of guarding the game’s foundational integrity and values
