I went to BPT jai-alai my first time when I was about 16 or 17
and since I had already been betting on horses for awhile I liked
the betting aspect of jai-alai , but also became curious about
playing the game. My brother got me a Pardo cesta and I started
to practice outside with a rubber ball. It was in Stratford CT
under an I-95 overpass. I went to Miford amateur a year or so
later and I remember the first time I stepped on the "pelota"
court and was amazed at how much different it looked than when
you view a game from the audience (and this wasn't even a pro-size
court).
