Jugab

Jugab is a traditional game originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in the states of Punjab and Haryana. It is a team sport played with a small, hard ball, typically made of leather or rubber, and a wooden mallet. The objective of the game is to score points by hitting the ball into the opponent's goal, which is a small, elevated platform.

The game is played on a rectangular court divided into two halves by a central line. Each team consists of two players, with one player on each side of the court. The players take turns hitting the ball with their mallets, attempting to score goals while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The game is known for its fast-paced action and physicality, with players often engaging in close combat to gain possession of the ball.

Jugab is a popular sport in rural areas of Punjab and Haryana, where it is often played in local tournaments and community events. It is also gaining popularity in urban areas, with several clubs and associations dedicated to promoting the game. The sport requires a combination of skill, strength, and agility, making it an exciting and challenging activity for players of all ages.
