Kuai ball



Kuai Ball is a Fire Nation sport quite similar to volleyball, usually played on the beach and very popular with the vacationers on Ember Island. The court for a Kuai Ball game consists of a circular playing area divided by a net. The object of the game is to hurl the ball over the net using hands or feet, with points being scored by having the ball hit the ground on the opposing team's side of the net. The game ends when one team reaches ten points. Because playing Kuai Ball requires a great deal of dexterity and skill, games featuring more acrobatic players are truly amazing to watch. Azula, Ty Lee, Zuko and Mai played Kuai Ball while visiting Ember Island.

It is played similarly to volleyball, except that one can touch the net, and feet can be used instead of hands to add more force behind the ball. This game seems to give an advantage to Firebenders and true acrobats, as it requires moving the legs and the rest of the body quickly, in a similar fashion to Firebending.
