Airball

Airball is an elevated ball game unique to the Air Nomads. It is played atop giant poles by at least two players who constantly try to use the placement of the various poles in order to score. Due to the unique trait of playing on elevated poles, players require a certain amount of dexterity and balance, both of which are notable traits among the Air Nomads. Because of this, Airball may not simply be for recreational purposes, but may also aid in exercise and fitness.

Field
A field about the size of a regular basketball court, the game's playing field is a spacious area consisted of over 120 poles. Although the wooden poles are different in terms of height, ranging from about 15 feet to 25 feet, they all retain the same width, which looks to be around 2 feet. Poles are wide enough in the sense that a player is able to stand on top of any given beam with very little difficulty. The poles are not evenly spaced.

Ball
The ball utilized in this game is about the size of a soccer ball. It appears to be made out of hollow, lightweight wood, with the sides slotted for minimum air resistance and maximum elasticity. Players use their Airbending to get the ball moving, making it spin in order to provide it momentum. As the game progresses, the ball is bounced between the poles as it makes its way towards the goal.

Goal
An Airball goal is a wooden square with a revolving circular structure inside that is capable of spinning from left to right. They are relatively large, nearing the height of a young Air Nomad, with one positioned on each end of the field. Points are awarded when the ball goes through one of these goals at any point in time during the game.

Players
It is known that there are goal defenders for each team and offensive players that try to gain control of the ball. The field is simply too big for only two players, and so it is assumed that the game is played by a number of players back when the Air Nomads were populous. Highly skilled Airbenders may be able to play without the need of reinforcements, as was demonstrated by Aang in "The Southern Air Temple", who was able to get the Airball across the field and through the goal in one slice. However, it should be noted that the opposing defender was Sokka, who lacked knowledge of the game, as well as the balance and bending required, to effectively pose as a challenge.
