• Kho - Kho
  • The game of KHO KHO is one of the oldest traditional tag games in India. It is a team game.
  • 9 players will take the field in the beginning to start the match and 3 defenders of the opposite team try to avoid being touched by the chasers.
  • It is a high-energy game that involves running and chasing.
  • The motive of the sitting team is to "tag" the opponents.

• The origin of Kho-Kho is very difficult to trace, but many historians believe that it is a modified form of 'Tag'/'Catch', which in its simplest form involves chasing and touching a person.
• Originating in Maharashtra, Kho-Kho in ancient times was played on 'raths' or chariots and was known as Rathera.
• The present appearance of the game was an adoption from the time of World War I in 1914.
• The Deccan Gymkhana club of Pune, Maharashtra so named and baptized by the great Indian leader Lokmanya Tilak & Bhai Narorkar drafted the first-ever rules and regulations which symbolized the metamorphosis of the game soon to follow.
