About Basque Pelota

Pelota is the Traditional Game of the Basque People of Sourthwest France and North Central Iberia (Spain). Their language is the oldest in Europe, and the only non-Indo-European language left in Western Europe according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and therefore with some justification the Basques refere to themselves as the only Native Europeans. The sport is similar to the GAA and European game of Handball, played with a curved glove which is used to propel the ball off one of two perpendicluar walls on a four-sided court, with the other two sides open.

Report

Basque Pelota is one of those forgotten Gaelic, Celtic or Atlantic Games like Scottish Shinty or Welsh Baseball. It is the Basque people’s version of Handball and would undoubtedly have a similar origin.

ASPE is one governing body for the Professional Game in the Basque Country. The Campeonato Cuatro y Medio (4 1/2 Championship) is a version of the game played on a four-sided court with walls on half the sides (hence 4 1/2). Unlike Handball, a curved glove is used to propel the ball at a very high speed against the walls.

Olaizola II has been the most successful player since the Millennium, winning the title on seven occasions.

Report

Basque Pelota is one of those forgotten Gaelic, Celtic or Atlantic Games like Scottish Shinty or Welsh Baseball. It is the Basque people’s version of Handball and would undoubtedly have a similar origin.

ASPE is one governing body for the Professional Game in the Basque Country. The Campeonato Cuatro y Medio (4 1/2 Championship) is a version of the game played on a four-sided court with walls on half the sides (hence 4 1/2). Unlike Handball, a curved glove is used to propel the ball at a very high speed against the walls.

Olaizola II has been the most successful player since the Millennium, winning the title on seven occasions.
