It evolved in North Yorkshire (Great Britain) and was officially launched at the Youth Sport Trust's Sports Colleges Conference in February 2006. Rock-It-Ball spread through schools in the UK. It featured on four of the Youth Sport Trust’s programmes, began to played regularly in 17 countries,〔Government Business (2010): Rock-It-Ball - the Fastest Growing Sport in the World. ''Government Business''. Volume 17, Number 8. pp. 62–63〕 and saw the establishment of an international federation and eleven national governing bodies〔Nieć P. (2011): ''Rock-It-Ball - Gra Zespołowa z Elementami Edukacji Olimpijskiej''. Unpublished Dissertation, Poznan University, 2011〕 Over time the international administrative body had taken the original game and further developed and extended it, setting up a full sports infrastructure. In 2012, in order to cater for the international growth, the sport was rebranded by the international community to VX. All the clubs and NGBs followed suit and now all leagues, tournaments and international competitions are under the VX banner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VX (sport)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
