Matkot (Paddles)

So what do Israelis do at the beach? Well, naturally they play "Matkot" or "Paddles". This game consists of two paddles and a ball which gets, well, paddled between them. The object is very simple - keep the ball off the ground.

People of all skill levels play this game, so the ball remains in the air anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of seconds (like ifI were to play, hey - it's been 11 years!)

I got a few random shots of people playing just to prove my point. By inductive reasoning, you can assume that if these people play, everyone else does too :)
