"Pilota Valenciana"

Modalities

Llargues

How do you play?:The rules of this modality rest on three lines: The service is done by throwing it to oneself without being able to knock and beating it "fly" and must overcome the fault line without touching the ground previously. Once you have thrown beyond the line of the ground there are two possibilities:

If the ball has thrown between the line of the fault and the rest of the team the opposing team has to return it to the rival field as much after a boat, otherwise it is a foul.

If the ball bounces beyond the streak of the rest the team that has taken out is scored a bit.

Strike mark Mark the point from where the pilot takes off.

Strike of the foul Indicates the place that the ball has to overcome during the serve.

Row of the rest Indicates the end of the field.

Where is the game played ?: This mode is played on the street. This street must be flat, about eight meters wide and of such a length as to allow the development of the game, generally about eighty meters.

Raspall

How do you play ?:

If the ball touches the tambourí (bevel existing in the bottom of the front wall of the ratchet) or if it is playing in the street that surpasses the grating that delimits the end of the field. In that case it is so much of the team that has hit the ball

If a player hits the ball but it goes back, it commits a foul, achieving a bit to the rival team.

If a player hits the ball with another body part other than the hand, he / she misses.

If playing a ratchet team a ball in the galleries located at the top commits foul.

where it is played?:

The games of raspall are usually played in ratchet, however it is also possible to play them in a street either natural or Carrer de la pilota artificial.

Fronto

Frontón is a type of court for the practice of Basque pelota (in any of the specialties that are played there), a form of Valencian ball and the challenges or encounters between Basque and Valencian players. It is a rectangular space of 10 to 11 m wide and a length of 30, 36 or 54 meters; One of the long sides is always closed; The other three sides are closed with 10 m high walls, although there are not missing pediments in which only one of the short sides has a wall. The length of the Valencian pelota pediment is smaller, with a length of between 20 and 30 meters, which makes possible the usual game of rebound

  Galotxa:

HOW DO YOU PLAY ?: The game is usually played between two teams of three pelotaris in a street on which is hung a rope in width to an approximate height of two meters.

 The main difference with the scale i rope is the wound (the serve). The way to count the so many is similar to that of tennis, 15, 30, val and joc (game). Each game is worth five points finishing the game when one of the two teams gets 70 points.

 In this case, the feridor throws the ball without hitting it and must pass over the rope and throw in a certain area known as dau. After this the opposing team has to return the ball over the rope without letting it bounce or at most after a boat. You miss the team that is not able to return the ball over the rope, let it dribble in its field more than once, hit the ball with something other than the hand or hit twice in a row.

WHERE TO PLAY: The games of galotxa are disputed in a street (This street must be flat and usually have dimensions slightly smaller than that of ratchet)
