It was perfect timing to learn about this ancient game and then be able to watch it demonstrated. As I described in the Chichen Itsa article, this is a very old game where the players have to get a heavy rubber ball through the hole but they can only touch it with their hips.

The musicans are in place as they prepare for the blessing of the game.

The blessing of the court by the priest. His chant was very interesting.

Here is the handsome fella who verified the ball is heavy and bounces.
