N2  - In response to the educational demands of the 21st century, Physical Education (PE) has evolved toward
            a more comprehensive model, requiring innovative approaches from teachers. Educational sport remains
            essential; however, excessive competitiveness in some traditional sports often fails to motivate students.
            For this reason, the adoption of Alternative Sports (AS), such as Cornerball, is proposed. Cornerball, a
            playful?sporting variant, combines elements of wall and rebound sports with a divided court. It is played in
            mixed-gender pairs within a 90-degree corner divided by a net at the center, with players alternating
            participation on each hit. This novel approach seeks to enhance student motivation, promote physical
            activity, and convey values in an engaging manner. The main objective of this paper is to design a didactic
            proposal for the implementation of Cornerball in PE classes. Its potential to foster active participation,
            coeducation, sports values, cooperation, and healthy lifestyle habits is highlighted. This new alternative
            sport emerges as an attractive and challenging option, contributing significantly to the evolution of
            Physical Education toward a more holistic and motivating approach.
