Throughout history, people have played sports which involved using a ball and hands, feet, or sticks. In 1863, at Cambridge University, a group of Englishmen formed the Football Association and invented the modern game of soccer. Rugby and Australian rules (earliest known draft, Melbourne 1858) were among the first to establish clear drafted rules. In North America, rugby and soccer were both played, and a hybrid, American football, was invented.
