Seen by many sports fans as a mix of handball and badminton, Jai Alai is commonly played by singles or doubles and involves a racquet that looks more like a huge scooping basket. The objective of the game is to shoot the ball into one side of the wall towards the enemy area. The opponent must catch the ball either right in midair or on the first bounce, which should also be bounced off the wall towards the other end. If not, it would be a deduction point against the failing team.
