The Endangered Sport of Ulama The lost sport of Ulama has influenced many sports we play in today's society. Many people don't know what sport is today, but these are common techniques found in many sports. Ulama is known to date back to 1500 BC, but has disappeared. Aztecs, Mayans, Mixtecs and Zapotecs played and watched the ball game. Ulama is a sport currently practiced in a small village in Mexico. This sport requires minimal equipment, just a heavy rubber ball and the human body. The rules that are played today are not necessarily the rules that were played from the beginning.

Not only were they amazed by the concept of the game, but they were also amazed by the fact that the rubber ball seemed to defy gravity (Kelin, 2016). After the Spanish conquistadors saw this game and were entertained by it for a short time, until they prohibited people from participating in the games and all the rituals of the games. The prohibition of this game had a great influence on why it was forgotten and was in danger of being completely a thing of the past (Mesoamerican Ballgame
