Intro to Jai Alai

Details

This intro class/practice will assume that you are totally new to Jai Alai. We will go over the game, equipment, and how to throw and catch. There are cestas (the basket that goes on your hand) for people to use in a few sizes (youth to adult). Make sure to RSVP.

What to expect ?
We will start with a brief intro to Jai alai, equipment, game play and rules.
Then we will go over tying the cesta, throwing and catching, and taking some time to throw the ball around with basic drills. Might try to get a game in if we can.
We will be using practice balls. They are basically heavy tennis balls.
While Jai Alai is often touted as the fasted ball sport in the world we will start 'slow' and make sure its fun.

What do you need?
Dress like you would for racquetball or tennis. You will need to bring your own water etc.

Cestas and practice balls will be provided to use.
