Valencian pilota

Valencian pilota is a game that people play in the region of Valencia, in Spain. It's a bit like tennis or handball, but with some differences.

The game is played by two teams, with one to three players each. They stand on opposite sides of a court, and hit a small, hard ball back and forth using their hands, a special glove, or a wooden bat. The ball is made of cork and covered in goat skin.

The players have to hit the ball so that it bounces on the ground once before the other team can hit it back. If the ball goes out of bounds, it's a point for the other team. The game can be played in different ways and with different rules, depending on the type of Valencian pilota being played.

The court where the game is played is called a trinquet. It's a rectangular space with walls that are quite high so the ball can bounce off them too. The walls can be made of different materials, but they are usually made of brick and plaster.

Valencian pilota is a very old game that has been played in the region of Valencia for centuries. It's a very popular sport in that area, and there are many professional players who compete in tournaments and championships.
