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.
Lots of cultures had ball-kicking games (lol).

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