WHAKAMĀRAMA

He hākina rākete ka tauwhāingatia i waenga i ētahi kaitākaro takitahi e rua, i waenga rānei i ētahi takirua. Ka tākarohia ki rō whare, ki tētahi papa tākaro e whā ōna pātū. Ka hāua he pōro iti kia tupana i te pātū o mua, kātahi ka hāua e te hoariri. Ka whakaaehia kia kotahi noa iho te pā o te pōro ki te papa, ka pai hoki te tupana i ngā pātū taha me te pātū o muri. Ka piro te kaitākaro mēnā ka hē, ka hapa, ka kore e taea rānei tā te hoariri whakahoki i te pōro. 

A racket sport contested between two singles players, or between two doubles. It is played on an indoor court which has four walls. A small ball is hit so that it bounces on the front wall, and is in turn returned by the opponent. The ball is only allowed to touch the floor once, but is allowed to bounce off the side and back walls. A player scores a point if the opponent's return is astray, faulty, or if they are unable to return the ball.

WhakamĀrama Āpitihanga

E pātata ana ki te 10 mita mai i te pātū mua ki te pātū muri, e 6.4 mita te whānui o te papa tākaro. Kāore e whakaaetia te tupana o te pōro ki runga ake i te paetua mua, i ngā paetua taha me te paetua muri:

Ka tū te kaituku kia kotahi tōna waewae ki roto i te rohetuku, ka tukua te pōro i reira. Ka hāua kia tupana i te pātū mua, ki waenganui i te rārangi tuku me te paetua mua. Ki te kore e haurerea e te hoariri, e tika ana kia tau te pōro ki te papa i muri i te rārangi waenga i te taha tauaro o te papa. Ka hohoko haere te hahau i te pōro, ko ia hahautanga me tupana i te pātū mua, ki waenganui i te pae raro me te paetua mua.
