The games are now part of the Friends Club offer, which group leader Mustafa Al-Ghalayini hopes will be another way for Palestinians to play sports and hopefully a step towards them competing one day in international championships.
Teqball is a ball game played on a curved table combining elements of football and table tennis. Pickleball is a mix of tennis, badminton and table tennis and is played on a court that is much smaller than a tennis court.
Both sports allow up to four players to compete in two-person teams.
