Ans.As I am a defender. I will guide to players with tacts and techniques of Kho-Kho by telling them to concentrate on personal practice. Mostly morning time is best for practice.

Q7.As Kho-Kho is played the in mat as well as in mud. What difference you feel in play between mat and mud.
Ans. In mud, Khokho gives me more pleasure. As in mud more skills can be performed as compared to the mat. In mat more force is applied in the game. But at International level Mat is compulsory.So it is necessary to practise on mats to compete at international level and There are types of mats available in the market but still research on proper KhoKho mats are going on.
