It’s basically handball, except they play it with their feet.
We may need @Aardvark to explain why?

Close, but the explanation is a bit more complex. Handball is based on a mesoamerican ball game that was played since around 1650 BC.
That game was played exclusively with their feet.
So handball is based on that, but with hands, and soccer is based on handball but with feet.
Fun fact, pickle ball is based on soccer but with paddles.

Amazing insight. I always thought pickleball was based on soccer but with pickles.

It's just amazing how these things morph over time.
I knew that you'd know the story.

Some people belive that pickle ball will be played in outerspace eventually... probably with their feet.

Makes sense, since you need gravity for paddles to work.
