Abula is a Nigerian traditional game with the resemblance of the modern Volley ball game. Players used wooden bats to hit the ball over the net from one side to another.
It is played in a rectangular court by four players on each side of the court. The game can be played by Male and Female, even mixed categories of male and female players with only 4 four substitutes for a team.
However, there is a basic distinction between the game and volleyball as the use of the hand is not allowed in the former.
Some of the fundamental skills needed include gripping, bend-picking, ball placement, smashing, blocking, ball deflection, rally and foot working.
The first team to score 16 points wins the game.
