In Mexico, children play an ancient team sport called ulama. They use a heavy rubber ball and hit it with their hips.

Ulama is an ancient game, more than 3,400 years old from Mexico. Spanish people tried to stop the game, but it survived.

Tourism helped to bring this old sport back to life. Some players worry this makes it look like just an \"exotic\" show.

The Osuna family teaches children how to play ulama. This helps keep the game alive and gives kids good activities.

Ulama is now spreading and getting known outside Mexico. More young players are needed to help the sport grow.
