The new sport of Foot Kick was created by four kids from two different families: Justice Innocent, Gabriel Robinson, Goddey Innocent and Emmanuel Robinson, all hailing from Rivers state in Nigeria, in 2006.

As the name implies it is played with the foot with a round leather ball. The court is separated into two different parts, each part has two goal nets at each corner respectively. The goal net is 15 inches length and 23 inches width. In between the two goal nets at one part of the court is the service point, and the area in front of the goal net is the defense track. Right in front of the defense track we have the penalty spot.

The court also have a serve where the ball bounce on during service.
