Grupo Pakal, Mayan Performing Arts presents live exhibitions of the sacred Mayan Ballgame. Two teams compete in this ancient team sport, hitting a solid rubber ball weighing about 9 pounds with their hips. Grupo Pakal's impressive ballgame exhibitions are living historical representations of an all but lost art. Only a small number of players exist worldwide and even fewer know the art of making the ancient ball. Grupo Pakal has rediscovered the ball-making process and actively trains ballplayers in effort to preserve this important part of Mayan culture and history.
