It's been a long time, but wasn't I think the sport in question
was the one (I can't remember the name) played in Spain and other
(mostly) Spanish speaking countries where the players have a sort
of scoop thing in their glove (kind of like a baseball mitt but
moreso) that allows them to catch fast-moving balls and then hurl
them back at enormous speeds.  It's a sort of glorified game of
"catch", throwing the ball against a wall.
