The Mayans are Mesoamerican Indians who originated from southern Mexico, Guatemala, and northern Belize. They developed one of the most advanced civilizations.
It seems unlikely that the Mayans played many games and sports to keep them busy. A couple of sports Mayans play are Pok-A-Tok, Pitz, and more ancient games
The Mayans played the Pok-A-Tok sport 1000 years ago in what is now known as Cancun and Rivera Maya. This sport wasn’t only a way to keep the Mayan people busy but also helped resolve conflicts within their people. Pok-A-Tok is a ball game. The ball is made of rubber, and you have to hit it into a stone hoop. You can only pass the ball by using your thighs and your knees.
The Pitz game is again an ancient game played by Mayans. This game is part of Mayan political, religious, and social life. This game is with a rubber ball and that ball is thrown like a soccer ball into a stone hoop, the player hits the ball without their hands to be able to win the game.
