The popular Creole ball game in Venezuela

This post is dedicated to one of the most practiced sports disciplines in Venezuela, the game of Creole balls (the balls are round objects of phenolic resin composite material, this material has greater resistance to impacts, greater resistance to Friction and better relative weight from the outside diameter according to the relative weight). I particularly love practicing it, because in my family they liked to play this discipline in the field during the weekends. The game of the Creole balls is a sport practiced in Venezuela and in the Colombian city of Cúcuta. It bears some kinship with the European sports of Bocce and Petanque, as well as of the bocce.

To play it, a minimum of 2 people per team is required (if they are played with 4 red balls and 4 green balls), each player must throw 2 balls (of the color that decides to have each team), and can not miss the smaller sphere no greater than 5 centimeters (the Mingo).

The purpose of this discipline is to try to put as many balls as possible near the Mingo, of course, wins the team that will put the balls that it throws closer. In each team it is customary to have two key players:

1. A Arrimador: player who throws the first ball, this must have the greatest skill, coordination and pulse to place the ball as close to the Mingo, throwing the ball flush with the floor gently.

1. A Bochador: it is that player who must have the strength, coordination and aim to try to hit the ball of the opposing team that is close to the Mingo, through the air, in order that his teammate (the Arrimador), have the path cleared for Place your ball near the smallest sphere.

The court must be rectangular (the ideal measure would be 20 meters wide by 30 long), it can be of compact sand, on the sides of the rectangle must be placed tables, so that it serves of protection for the present public.
