Gobias Industries Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Wall Ball, also called Ball Wall, Patball, thumb, or Wallsies is a type of ball game involving a group which involves the bouncing of a ball against a wall, and may involve throwing the ball or shoes at other players. It is a popular school yard game, perhaps owing to the simplicity of equipment needed, namely a wall and a ball that bounces, (usually a tennis ball). It is likely that these games are distilled versions of fives, American handball, and other sports that date back to Greek and Roman times, such as expulsim ludere.

Wall Ball, also called Ball Wall, Patball, thumb, or Wallsies is a type of ball game involving a group which involves the bouncing of a ball against a wall, and may involve throwing the ball or shoes at other players.That game was outlawed in my elementary school after two eye injuries. I also stepped on a racquetball to keep it from rolling too far away, and I broke it in half. Wall ball was fucking awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We rigged them to shoot out of a crossbow. I'm going to refrain from telling my husband about this because if I do, he'll be PMing you for instructions. My grandparents had a set of Jarts. I remember playing with them with my cousins. I couldn't have been older than 11, which means my cousins would have been six and three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
