Pelota in Sweden

Post by ckab » Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:34 am

Hello

We are about to found northern europes first club for the ancient game basque pelota in sweden. It's a tough game that fits our northern european mentality well. Watch this link if you don't know what it is.

Now I would like to challenge everyone in Finland to start a club as well, because I'm not sure who are the toughest, the swedes or the finns. I think we should decide that on the pitch ;)

contact us at pelotastockholm@hotmail.com if it sound interesting

Pelottava = scary, Pelottaa = being afraid, Eikö sinua pelota? = Arent you afraid?

So sounds bit scary sport :)

Well, hitting that hard ball is scary to me.

Don't like the idea of hitting the ball with ma hands!! You wear hand wraps don't you?

Until that day - I will stick to sky bounce!

Yes you use a kind of protection that you build before each time you play. It helps some, but it still takes a low IQ to play :shock:

This game has a lot of other varietys as well that you play with rackets etc, but they all originate from the same region in spain:
