HOW TO PLAY
1
Divide into two teams standing on opposite halves of a long open court.
2
Put on the heavy studded glove and use it to strike the ball back toward the other team, similar to a hand-powered version of tennis.
3
Let the ball bounce once before returning it, striking it cleanly with the gloved hand rather than catching it.
4
A team earns a point when the opposing side fails to return the ball before it bounces twice or hits it out of bounds.
5
Rotate which player takes the lead hitting position after each point and play until one team reaches the agreed winning score.
