Instruction for the first use

a) How to keep the hoop in motion

A short training is necessary for the first use. It will take about 15 or 30 minutes to the player to control the functioning of the hoop and keep it moving.

After pitching the hoop, the player holds the stick in his right or left hand (depending on whether one is left or right-handed), then pull from the left side, then from the right side of the hoop, repeating the same movements at every turn of the hoop in order to keep it in a circular movement.

Handle the stick and the string according the direction indicated by the pointer (see the chart)

The person who plays with the cercoring must pull on the string to give an impulse to the hoop only when the contact point of the hoop and the string is down on the ground.

Handle the stick and the string according the direction indicated by the pointer (see the chart)

N.B. The way one handles or controls the hoop on the ground or in the air is exactly the same.

b) Magic cersoring

When pitching the hoop, the player throws it with a reverse movement which makes the hoop come back after having rolled a short distance. In Africa this trick is called “give without giving”.
