KhoKho

Kho Kho is a traditional Indian team sport that originated in Maharashtra, India. The game is played between two teams of seven players each, with one player from each team acting as a "chaser" while the remaining six players form a "home base" or "kho." The objective of the game is to prevent the opposing team's chaser from touching any of the players in the home base while also trying to catch the opposing chaser.

The game is played on a rectangular field, typically measuring 20 meters by 10 meters. The home base is a square area marked on the field, usually about 3 meters on each side. The chaser starts from one corner of the field and must run around the perimeter of the field while trying to tag the players in the opposing team's home base. The players in the home base can move freely within the square but cannot leave it. If a chaser successfully tags a player in the opposing home base, that player becomes a chaser for the next round.

Kho Kho is known for its strategic and tactical elements, requiring players to use quick reflexes, agility, and teamwork. The game has gained popularity beyond India and is now played in various countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. It is often included in school physical education programs due to its emphasis on fitness, coordination, and sportsmanship.

The rules of Kho Kho are relatively simple, but the game can be quite intense and physically demanding. It is played in multiple rounds, with the team that successfully prevents the opposing chaser from tagging all six players in their home base for a full round winning the game. Kho Kho is not only a fun and engaging sport but also a great way to promote physical activity and healthy competition.
