About cesta

Get ready to color something super cool and super speedy! This amazing object is called a 'cesta' (say: SESS-tah), and it’s a special, curved basket used in a lightning-fast sport called Jai alai. Players strap it right to their hand, making it almost like an extension of their arm! Why is it so awesome? Because with a cesta, players can catch a tiny, hard ball and throw it back incredibly fast – sometimes over 150 miles per hour! That makes Jai alai one of the fastest ball sports on Earth! Each cesta is carefully woven by hand, often from strong willow or wicker, making it a masterpiece of craft and sport. Now it's your turn to be a designer! What colors and patterns would your dream cesta have? Would it be bright and bold, or sleek and stealthy? Imagine the amazing throws you could make. Grab your crayons and give this powerful, high-speed sports tool your own creative touch!
