Jukskei

My Favourite Sport

The game of “JUKSKEI” consists of throwing a skei from a pitching line, over a fixed distance, in the direction from and to a pen, which is positioned in a sandpit. A skei is held by the handle and is thrown underhand past the leg in a forward swinging motion. It is played in teams with usually four members each. Each member has two skeis (and thus two turns). The playing field consists of two pits juxtaposed in opposite directions, so that play can take place in both directions. Each time a team member knocks over the peg, he gets three points.
