Ball Court. Probably the most popular game consisted of a soccer size solid rubber ball played with two teams of one to six people. The objective of the game is to keep the ball in the air (like volley ball game) with the help of only certain body parts such as knees, hip and shoulders. No one has found the written rules of the game. The game was also played during special ceremonies where the winner would be sacrificed, as Maya believed in offering the best to the Gods.
