Check out this link to a fascinating web site about an early (200BC) ball game in Central America. The site has a series of Flash videos that do a very good job of exploring various aspects of this ancient game. This game of the Maya, Aztecs, and other early civilizations holds an important place in the timeline of human achievements that ultimately culminated in the game of soccer, as we know it today (with some help from games of other civilizations, of course).
