The sport of juggling is also preserved and promoted by the Thai and Muong ethnic groups in Thanh Hoa.
The game of throwing is also closely associated with the life, activities and work of the Thai and Muong ethnic groups, often held on holidays and Tet. Through the development process, the game of throwing has also been included in the sports competition of ethnic minorities in the province.
To play the sport of throwing cones, you need a large field and a pole. The cone is made of many pieces of colored cloth joined together into segments, filled with sand inside, with a diameter of 5-6cm and heavy enough to throw far; at the corners of the cone are attached colorful pieces about 5cm long; in the middle is sewn a strong cloth string about 50cm long. In the middle of a large grass field, a cone (usually a bamboo pole) is erected. On the pole near the top is hung a circle also made of bamboo, with a diameter of 45-50cm. To play cones, there must be two teams, one male team and one female team, or a mixture of male and female, using the pole as a separator, facing each other. The technique of throwing cones is that the player holds near the end of the cloth string, spins the cone a few times clockwise before tossing it up, towards the cone background. The team with the most times the cone passes through the bamboo circle will become the winning team.
In Son Thuy commune, the sport of juggling is still being preserved and promoted by the people. To achieve this result, the commune has regularly organized exchange activities and competitions in traditional sports to develop the movement of physical training and sports in ethnic minority areas.
Vice Chairman of Son Thuy Commune People's Committee Pham Ngoc Thanh shared: "Today, throwing the ball is included in the sports competitions of the commune, attracting a large number of people to participate. In the coming time, the commune will continue to encourage talented people to guide young people to practice the sport of throwing the ball."
Through many times of organization, the Thanh Hoa Province Ethnic Sports Festival has included the cone throwing event as an official competition. The cone throwing event has created exciting and attractive competition for the audience. In particular, in recent years, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has organized activities to preserve and promote the sports of ethnic minorities, including the implementation of Project 6, under the National Target Program for Socio -economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas for the period 2021-2030, organizing the traditional sports competition of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas of Thanh Hoa province.
Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Duy Tu said: "In the coming time, the department will continue to direct communes with ethnic minorities to pay attention to preserving and promoting traditional sports of ethnic minorities through integrating them into cultural activities and festivals. Maintain the Thanh Hoa province's ethnic sports competition, promote the development of the physical training and sports movement in mountainous communes in particular and the physical training and sports movement of Thanh Hoa province in general. This is an important solution to help the sport of tossing have a strong influence in people's lives."
