Scoop and slap

A team game involving a cantaloupe sized ball, in which players scoop up the ball in between their straight arms and then thrust it upwards in order to slap it to the opponents side. It is most commonly played by people who do not want a volleyball rash on their lower arm or most predominately those who have good choice in sports. In a game of experienced players it’s common for team mates to shout, ‘Glepito’ which comes from the Latin for ice cream - affectionately referring to the scooping action. There is not a set number of players required for SAS however some twigs are required to mark the territory of each team. Points are awarded in avocados every time the ball touches the opponents ground and when one team gains 7 avocados the referee or innocent bystander shouts, ‘Guacamole’ and they are crowned Champions of the world, collecting the twigs as their reward. (Rewards are subject to availability and depend on the individual circumstances of the competition).

‘Would you like to play Scoop and Slap later?’
‘Why yes! One must play Scoop and Slap in order to maintain one’s avocado supply’
‘Groovy, I will go and prepare the twigs’
