In water margin one of the guys gets to be captain because he is good at football it may be the translation but it sounds a lot like soccer. That book is very old so i always tougth soccer was chinise.
My Greek doctor claims that soccer was invented in ancient Greece because there's a tableau of a naked boy kicking a ball around.
I think either Incas or Mayans had one that was like soccer/volleyball.
China did indeed have one too.
Modern soccer descends from the medieval English version where teams were hundreds of people trying to get a ball from point A to point B kilometres away. Very goofy and dangerous.

Now that you mention it ball kiking games seem like they would be developed very early.
