So, with that, the sport of court football began. Over the course of two years, LaHue experimented with his idea, testing out rules on a nearby basketball court,looking to make it all work out. It must have looked ridiculous to those driving by, seeing a teenager out on a basketball court, trying to kick a football over the top of a backboard (considering he was one of the placekickers on his high school football team, he was rather sucessful). Finally, in November of 1999, the first rules for court football was finished.
It was also in November of 1999 that the World Court Football Federation was formed in northern California. It was on the WCFF's website that the rules were published.
