About Jai-Alai
Jai-Alai is a Basque word meaning "merry festival." The sport is played in an open arena and is promoted by the Basque government as "the fastest sport in the world."
Jai-Alai History
Jai-Alai, originated as the sport of the Basques in the Northeastern part of Spain and the Southwestern part of France in the Pyrenees Mountains. The game evolved from different types of hand and racquet sports and became known as Pelota Vasca or Basque Ball. The game was usually played on Sundays or Fiesta days. The Church walls served as the walls of the court. The game soon spread to Italy, Mexico, and Cuba. The first indoor court was built in 1798 in Marquena. It was first introduced to the United States at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. The sport became a gambling alternative to horseracing and is popular in Florida.
Jai-Alai Tips
One should practice using a "kill shot" serve called a "chula" shot, where the ball is played off the front wall very high, then reaches the bottom of the back wall by the end of its arc. The ball is difficult to return because it bounces very low off of the back wall.
