Global InformationJokari information
Jokari is a racket game principally for two players that can also be played alone. The game consists of a rubber ball attached to an anchor on the floor by means of a long elastic band, which makes the ball come back when a person hits it. Jokari is played with wooden paddles and is similar to swingball. The game has been highlighted as a way of engaging children in physical activity.[1]
Jokari was invented in France in 1938 by Louis Joseph Miremont, then residing in Bayonne.[citation needed]
