Abstract
The Cuban population, based on our popular councils, demands the recognition of the modality of the Four Corner (Ball at Hand), as Intangible Cultural Heritage of our country; given by its roots and massive practice in children, school, youth and social ages in neighborhoods and communities throughout the national territory, considered as a traditional Cuban game, a genuine expression of a pre-sports game inspired by baseball recognized as our National sport. On the other hand, we identify the need to systematize the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of this modality, its emergence and evolutionary development; in this sense there is no bibliography, which reflects the origins,
antecedents or precedents in the practice of the ball at hand in our country; in consultation with several baseball specialists and the development of traditional Cuban games, all express their ignorance about the emergence of this modality; as well as intellectuals and personalities with knowledge and experience in Cuban traditions; however, the different ways of practicing in each locality are evident in our neighborhoods and communities; as a healthy recreational option that manifests spontaneously, promoting the development of physical abilities, technical-tactical skills and the formation of values; At the same time, it is necessary to identify the requirements in the technical and methodological order, its regulation and management strategy in the communities in the short, medium and long
