Ancient Mayan Ballgame

The Maya played the earliest team sport in the world.  It was a ballgame in which players could not use their hands or feet or touch the ball.

Returning after his previous day’s lecture to the Popol Vuh and the Ancient Maya class, archeologist David S. Anderson of Radford University drew on his research and field-work on excavations of the Ball Courts in Maya cities to lead students in a lunchtime game.  Our students played with commitment!
