Kila: the rules of the game (ENG SUBS)

The first animated video about the rules of the Russian traditional game with a ball named "kila". It was created by the Kila Federation together with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund.
Kila is a contact team game with a ball.
The goal of the game is to get the ball to the "gorod" (town) zone, overcoming the resistance of the opponents.
A successful attack finishes by "capturing gorod" (town), which means that a player holding the ball in his hands runs into the gorod zone, or falls into it so that all parts of his body are within the gorod.
The kila ball weighs one and a half kilos and has a shape of a pumpkin.It is allowed to throw, to kick, and to pass the ball to each other in any direction without any restrictions, except for the only rule that prohibits lobbing the ball into your own hands.
It is also allowed to attack any player on the field, to capture, push, or knock them down.
There is a system of restrictions. The misconducting player is cautioned with a yellow card or dismissed from the field.
The standard kila ground is a rectangular field of 40 by 20 meters with extended sidelines. There are ten players on the field, five for each vataga, as kila teams are called. Every vataga is allowed to have up to five substitute players. Kila can be played in other formats as well. You can increase or reduce the number of players, change the size of the field, keeping the proportion of 2:1.
The match consists of two or three periods called "skhvatka", or battles. Every skhvatka is played to three or five gorod captures depending on the contest regulations. In the case of a draw, the third decisive skhvatka is awarded.
For children and for those who can not or do not want to play the original kila with combat techniques, there is a contactless game option were the body checks are replaced with ripping a ribbon off the player’s belt.
