The centre, which aims to improve, develop and promote the sport, was jointly established by the International Teqball Federation (FITEQ), the Beijing Teqball Association (BTA), the Capital University of Physical Education (CUPES) and the Beijing Olympic Development Association (BODA).

In the sport, invented in Hungary, Teqball players pass a football across a gently curved surface that resembles a reinforced ping-pong table, testing concentration, skills and stamina. Contact with the other player or the board is not allowed, minimising risk of injury.
