Today icnext played Matkot at the beach in Tel Aviv. Matkot is a very popular paddle ball game that’s played throughout Israel. Matkot is a fast paced and engaging sport that requires at least two people with paddles and a ball. It has become a symbol of beach culture in Israel. While we started to practice for the tournament it unexpectedly started to thunderstorm. Instead of having our tournament we had a circle of about 10 people with the goal of hitting the ball 30 times amongst us all. It was harder to play in the pouring rain but it was much more fun. We ended up playing for about an hour and never reached our goal of 30. We maxed out at 18 ☹️😔
