How to play Jereed With their right hand, Jereed players hold the first jereed – a long stick they will throw while holding other jereeds in their left hand.

One rider from each side rushes forth towards the opposite side until they are within meters of the other side. Then one player shouts the name of a player from the other team, challenging him to enter the game.

Another player from the first row comes out and meets the returning rider. The player from the second row starts riding quickly to his row and takes his former place. This time his rival chases him and throws a jereed at him. The game continues in this manner.
