Sparzak (Wall Ball)
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”A game for school-aged youth in the Kingdom of Poland (also known as Zbijak, Żydek, or Sparzony), suitable for lower secondary school classes. One player (chosen by tossing, a fee of 1, etc.) stands by the wall as the “sparzony” (“żydek”); the others position themselves at various distances from it. The player at the wall throws the ball against the wall so that it rebounds as far as possible, then turns to face the opponents. If no one catches the rebounded ball, it is returned to the “sparzony.” If someone does catch it, they aim at the “sparzony” from the spot where they caught it. The “sparzony” is determined by: 1) whoever misses when striking, or
- whoever is hit on the fingers by the ball and fails to catch it. A ball caught with both hands grants the right to one throw, with the right hand to two throws, and with the left hand to three throws. The winner is the one who, within the agreed time, was never the “sparzony” or (if everyone was) received the fewest hits.
