What is it??
PETANQUE. Once I say this words most of people
will said “ what is it?”(weird face). It’s really funny right. Actually petanque
or famously known as lawn bowling originating in France, usually played on almost any flat, open space
or rough ground using steel balls. The steel
balls also called boule. I loves to play petanque because I don’t have to use
more energy while playing it. It’s so easy right. But it’s not as easy as ABC. In
this games we have to give full concentration on our direction of the boule.
Firstly, to play this game we need boule (steel ball) and jack (small wooden ball). Petanque is played by two teams, where each team consists of one, two, or three players. In the singles and doubles games each player has three boules; in triples each player has only two. A coin is tossed to decide which side goes first. The starting team draws a circle on the ground which is 35-50 centimeters in diameter. All players must throw their boules from within this circle, with both feet remaining on the ground. The first player throws the jack 6–10 meters away.
Next, a player from the team that threw the jack will throw their first boule. Then follow by the opponent’s team. They have to throw the boules as closer as possible to the jack. The game continues with a player from the team that won the previous end drawing a new circle around where the jack finished and throwing the jack for a new end. That's all the basic explanation about my favourite a.k.a unpopular sports.
