CHINLONE

Chinlone means a “cane ball”. It is a traditional sport of Myanmar, in Asia. It is a combination of sport and dance. Chinlone is a non-competitive sport, it is not important if you win or lose.

A team of six players pass the ball back and forth with their feet, knees, backs and heads as they walk around a circle. The game is played barefoot or in chinlone shoes. When the ball touch the ground it is dead, and the play starts again.

Chinlone is over 1,500 years old. Over the centuries, players have developed more than 200 different ways of kicking the ball.

Men and women play chinlone, often on the same team. Adults and children can play on the same team, and it is not unusual to see elders in their 80s playing.
