Batéy was the name given to a special plaza around which the Caribbean Taino built their settlements. It was usually a rectangular area surrounded by stones with carved symbols (petroglyphs). The batey was the area in which batey events (e.g. ceremonies, the ball game, etc.) took place. The batey ceremony (also known as batu) can be viewed from some historical accounts as more of a judicial contest rather than a game. Because historical accounts of the game and court space come from (mostly Spanish) European explorers, the true nature, history, and function of the batey is still contested. Neighboring tribes may have used batey matches to resolve differences without warfare.

- El Batú (o Batey) es un deporte de origen taíno que se practicaba en un espacio rectangular, cercado con rocas, por eso mismo el área de este juego se conocía como «Batú». La bola se fabricaba con raíces y yerbas y confeccionando una masa redondeada y sólida, similar a la goma. Se jugaba entre dos equipos parecido también al fútbol, la bola se lanzaba al aire y los competidores tenían que evitar que la bola cayera al suelo de su lado respectivo, se jugaba con 4 partes del cuerpo las cuales son: cabeza, rodilla, muslos y cadera. Los puntos se anotaban en la caída de la bola. (es)
