Matkot

description Matkot Overview

Matkot is an Israeli beach paddle game in which two or more players hit a small rubber ball back and forth with paddles, usually without a net or marked court. It has been played on Tel Aviv beaches since at least the 1920s and is widely described as Israel's national beach sport, although its historical origin is uncertain. The game is informal and accessible, making it a recreational activity for beachgoers rather than a sport that requires a reserved court or formal team structure.
