HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDA tennis or rubber ball and a solid wall
  1. 1Mark a throwing line in front of the wall. One player begins with the ball; solo players use the same line and throw to themselves.
  2. 2Throw the ball at the wall so it rebounds to the catcher and may bounce on the ground no more than once. With two players, alternate: one throws and the other catches, then the catcher becomes the next thrower.
  3. 3A catch after zero or one ground bounce scores one point for the catcher. A miss or second bounce scores nothing; retrieve the ball and make the next throw from the same line.
  4. 4After every five total catches, move the line one step farther from the wall. Play until someone reaches ten catches; solo players use ten throws and record how many they catch.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Late target callDivide the wall into left and right halves. A partner calls one side after the throwing motion starts but before release. Hit that half, then catch the rebound after no more than one bounce to score. The wrong half or a missed catch scores zero. Switch after five throws. First to ten points wins.
