Is it....an amateur sport game, created on "Bačvice" beach in Split,Croatia and played on some beaches in Croatia and Montenegro. And does itttt involve several players in a circle passing around a small ball and keeping it in the air and out of the water for as long as possible. As such, the game somewhat resembles volleyball but it is played with a much smaller ball, the size of a tennis ball. There are usually five players and much running and diving in the shallow water. Picigin is a non-competitive sport: there are no opposing sides, no points, neither winners nor losers. It is a relaxing game where players start slowly and speed up when they want to. In the heat of the game, players are forced to run fast through the water and make acrobatic manoeuvres to keep the ball in play. Players don't catch the ball, they bounce it around with the palm of the hand. |
Haha yep. Good old Wikipedia.
