Abstract
An indoor or outdoor team game employing slotted playing sticks. According to a preferred version, the game requires one handed play using the slotted playing sticks, which are formed with a blade portion having an inward (concave) curve formed on each side of the blade to enable bi-directional (left and right handed) play. The blade is further defined by a symmetrical lattice structure that creates a racquet-like effect in addition to producing slots for air to pass therethrough. A scoring goal is further provided, preferably having one or more enhanced scoring zones, the game not requiring a goalkeeper.
