The first Qianballclubs in Denmark opened in Næstved and Kastrup, Vordingborg in 2004, and was also the first clubs in all of Europe. Today there are nine fully active clubs in Denmark spread out on Sealand, Jutland and Møn. There is still new clubs starting up. Around spring 2006, Qianball became associated with YMCA of Sports. Qianball is played on a court which roughly looks like a Badminton court. A Qianball court has the same design as one side of a Badminton court but is a bit bigger (7.8 metres x 7.6 metres). Like in Tennis the net is placed from the ground and up, opposite Badminton where the net is raised above the ground. Like in Squash, both players are on the same side of the net. On the player side, the court is split into three zones; left servezone, right servezone and the netzone, which together represents the playerzone. The zone on the other side of the net is called the ballzone. Via a rubber band the ball is attached to either a hook in the floor or to an anchorbag with ballast in, which is placed front most between the two servezones.

When the game begins both players position themself in each servezone. The player who has to serve then has to shoot the ball to the other side of the net, where the ball has to hit the floor once. After this the rubber band will pull the ball back, and hopefully over the net again. Now the reciever has to hit the ball before the ball hit the floor in the playerzone, and then the games goes on like this until the ball is lost. After each serve you play for the score (Running Score), unlike Badminton where you first play for the right to serve, and then for the score. So therefor Qianball has a certain order to serve by. The first player serves until two points has been won by either player. Then the other player gets to serve. When the next two points has been won by either player, then the players changes servezone and serve. In short you change serve at every 2nd point and change servezone at every 4th point.

As the Qianball court design is the same as Badminton (only bigger), Qianball can easily be played on a Badminton court, which many clubs in Denmark previously did. Today more and more club are having original nets and court designs. The rubber band can get up to 12 metres long so you have to count in some extra space for the ballzone, when setting up a court. People at all ages can play Qianball. Qianball is well suited as a exercise sport as well as a professionel sport.
