Norman Jones IV created Kickball around the turn of the 20th century in Mannsville, NY. Jones was often mocked as a kid for his club foot and dyslexia and was never picked to participate in soccer matches. He eventually created the game so he could be included in a sport, naming it "ballkick," before it was later changed to kickball.
