Saba is played by two groups of seven to 10 men against a group of the same number of women. The players are lined opposite one another on the pitch. The man starts off by 'rolling' his disc in the direction of the disc of his opponent, trying to knock it over. If the woman's disc doesn't fall, then the man will lose and be punished by either having his disc confiscated or ordered to dance or sing. All the men take turns playing until they have finished and the women take their turn trying to knock their opponent's disc over.
Players have to use several techniques for launching their disc towards their correct opponent.
There are about 15 to 30 techniques in all, from using the back of your foot, to kicking the disc, and pushing the disc with your fingers. Those of you who would like to see this interesting game can go to the Municipality of Phra Pradaeng, where there is a large population of Mon people, who are still keeping this tradition and game alive.
