Old Medieval engraving of a hoop game that involved jumping through the hoop. Hoops have been used in games since ancient times. A Roman game involved rolling the hoop while throwing a spear or stick through it or where the player would jump and run through the hoop. Games that developed from these early ones included hoop races and conflict games such as 'hoop battle'.
