Demonstrations of "mano" and "cesta punta" (traditional Basque sports)
Explanation:
There don`t seem to be any equivalent names of these Basque sports in English, so I would leave it in Spanish with an explanation.

"Mano" could be "Handball" or "Basque pelota", and Wikipedia has "cesta punta" under its Basque name of "Jai alai", so these could also feasibly be used.

Hope this helps

neutral  Carol Gullidge: don't disagree, but Mike already suggested all this
8 hrs

disagree  Pilar Díez: hand ball no es pelota, lo siento. As you say very well, the general term is pelota, which comes from the Basque "pilota"
