DIFFICULTY
SETTING
Both
MATERIALS
- A curved woven basket glove called a cesta for each player
- A hard rubber ball
- A wall to play against
MEASUREMENTS
Court with a tall front wall, commonly played along one long side wall as well
HOW TO PLAY
1
Strap the cesta basket onto your throwing hand and stand ready facing the front wall.
2
Serve the ball by catching it in the cesta and hurling it against the front wall so it rebounds into the court.
3
Opponents must catch the rebounding ball in their own cesta and immediately fling it back against the wall in one continuous motion.
4
A player loses the point if the ball touches the ground twice, goes out of the marked court lines, or is not returned in one fluid catch-and-throw motion.
5
Alternate serving and returning until one side fails to make a valid return.
6
The first player or team to reach the agreed target score wins the match.
