ABOUT
Our club features both a 1v1 and a 2v2 panna cage, imported from overseas. These cages are basically the field / play space for fast-paced, high intensity game of "Panna," which emphasizes creative footwork to win.
Step into the internationally acclaimed game of Panna, the mecca for masters of the ball!
A panna, aka a "Meg" through the opponents legs, is a short-duration match played 1v1 or 2v2 within a small area with goals on each player's side. Panna games are timed, usually only 2 to 3 minutes in length.
How to win:
- Meg your opponent for an instant win -- match over!
- Or, the game can also be won by scoring a specified number of goals (e.g., 3 goals to win).
- When the time is up, the match can be decided based on total points or a vote on skill exhibited.
Panna emphasizes ball control, technical skill, and having the smarts to fake your opponent into being megged.
Skills mastered in Panna enable players to confidently win 1-vs-1 situations on the big field and maintain possession in crowded spaces.
