Mark your space
Mark it once. Every card in kabaddi starts from this space and adds what it needs.
The space
A court split into two halves for touch kabaddi with a midline and a baulk line; at home a 3 m by 5 m strip with a line as the midline and chalk shapes for the toe-touch game.
Where it fits: lane, terrace (strip games), park, school ground, village ground; a mat for any holds.
Mark in this order
- The midline
- A baulk line
- Four shapes on the floor
- A start line for the shuttle
Chalk or tape is enough. Tick each mark as you make it.
Practice kit first
Two blocks or bean bags, a small ball, chalk.
Mat and coach for holds only.
Safety
No ankle or thigh holds at home; equal-weight partners; short nails; a coach for tackling.
