Picigin ( pihtsihgheen) is amateur sport game on some beaches in Croatia, specially it is very popular in Dalmatia and Split on the beache Bachvice, Montenegro. Picigin played with ball by people of all ages and both sexes. For this sport there are no strict or formal rules but is played according to tradition with little variation. Terrain must be on a sandy beach in shallow water. There are 5 players but can be more, two of them are called sidruni ( they are called because these players don’t move from their places ) and the other three pleyers are trkachi ( runners ). Players use just one stroke of the palm of the hand throwing a small rubber ball diameter of 5-10 cm and weight 50-150g. to each player without losing it and making as much effort as possible to get the ball – and that means jumping around and throwing your body into the sea. The goal is to keep the ball in play as long as it may be in the air.
