Connecticut Amateur Jai Alai Court,

Attendees experienced the thrilling Basque sport renowned for the fastest-moving ball in sports. Professional Jai Alai players showcased their athletic prowess as they competed in doubles with a cesta—a long, curved wicker basket—hurling a hard-rock, goatskin-covered ball at lightning speed. Matches were played to 15 points and the action on the court was matched by the lively atmosphere, with food and drinks enjoyed by all.
