Padda

Padda is a fun sport originating from Munro College (a very famous school in the parish of ST. Elizabeth of Jamaica). This is a highly treasured sport for many munronians. This is usually played with a yellow tennis ball,( or any other ball of a specific small size) with two teams and two goals. It is played on a concrete surface or sometimes in classrooms (padda in classrooms is not prohibited by the rules, students may be penalized). When a munronian refers to playing "2 a trip", this would mean that whichever team scores two goals first, they would be declared winner of that specific match, and the loser may have to exit the court for another team to play. Padda is a very enjoyable game, which might be taken too seriously at times and may cause certain disagreements among players. In conclusion, if you have ever been to Munro College as a student and have never played padda, something maybe detrimentally wrong. Please see a doctor for further diagnosis. ~@mc.clips_
