The Physics of Traditional Wall Ball Game and Its Rules

Wall Ball Game is traditional game commonly played in Ethiopia, particularly in Ankober Worda. Only the young men are involved in the game and played by two teams that not consist of equal members of players. In the present study the application of basic concepts of physics in Wall Ball game was described. Descriptive method has been implemented and data collection techniques such as interview, field observation, close and open ended questionnaires and oral information are used. In Wall Ball game, it is found that the team representative who, throw the ball from their team to the opponent should make an angle rages from 110° – 115°from standing point. Then the player from opponent teams who catch the throw ball, should come to the mid-field and throw back the ball to hit the team representative with an angle ranges between from 99° – 102°. If the angle is out of this range the probability to hit the team representative will decrease.
