The ancient Mesoamerican ball game (Ōllamaliztli in #nahuatl ) survives in some Mexican regions, especially in the State of #Sinaloa, where it is called #Ulama ”. The ball, made of solid rubber, must be struck by the players with their hips to keep it in motion. There has recently been a resurgence of this 3,000 years old sport in several parts of #Mexico - with annual national tournaments - but our ancestors’ customs do not apply anymore, meaning all team players finish their matches alive.
