Slapball

[Alpha_zero]

Except its not.

The aim is stop your opponent(s) from hitting the ball back at the wall. Squash with your hands, but not. You can play with a huge group, and it works.

So steps to playing slap ball:[list][*]First figure out the order. Make sure you remember whose before and who you're after.[*]Use a tennis ball, nothing else works quite as well.[*]Try not to have a group of more than ten or it becomes conufsing.[*]Now for the complications...[/list:u]Sounds simple? Hitting a ball at a wall with your hands...Now the hard part.

There are certain skills attached to it, so say I were to perform a certain move, the basic of special moves, a [b]return[/b]. I let the ball go infront of me beofre slamming it between my legs and back at the wall. Remeber the ball has to bounce once before hitting the wakk or you're out! Now, if I shout "RETURNS" as I perform the return, the group ahs to perform returns until someone faisl to do it correctly and are out. Following?

A list of special moves and how to perform them:[list][*]REETURNS: A move which can be performed whilst calling "Rallies" or "Returns". Whe Rallies is called you and the group must continue to sue returns untils someone messes up. No real difference to returns but it doesn't effect the turn. To perform a return you must let the blall bounce infront of you then slam it back between your legs, making it bounce the hit the wall. [*]CHESTNUT: A hard shot that can accompany the call "Chestnut" which commands your group to all eprform a chestnut until the it reaches ther person who called it. Performed by leaping in front of the ball, pushing a leg over it and pushing it from behind whilst it bounces in between your legs. So you open your legs while following through with your hand, which moves underneath you as the ball travels beneath your crotch. Confused? Its a very hard manouvere to perform.[*]DOUBLES: Doubles can accompany any shout, meaning you must first leap over the ball before returning/chestnutting/dragon kicking it back to the wall.[*]DRAGON KICK: When you kick the ball directly back at the wall with your foot. Designed to finish off your current opponent, it is allowed to be played "Head on"[/list:u]Now the advantages...:[list][*]OBS: When someone blacks your way or the ball travels somewhere you can't hit it due to an obstruction.[*]TIPS: When you hit the ball with the tips of your fingers and it misses, callnig tips will rgant you a chance to forfeight your go fro a serve[*]CREES: When the ball hits the right-angle bewteen the ground and the wall[*]OFF COURT: When a ball travels to far from the court for you to hit it back[*]HEAD-ON: When the ball doesn't bounce before it hits the wall. You're then out.[*]ORDER OF PLAY: When it is eliminated to the last two they play first to score 3-10 points. To score points try and stop your opponent from returning the ball to the wall.[*]More to mention but wouldn't work with your version of slapball[/list:u]Any questions as to how to play slapball?

Is it really called 'Slapball' or did you make that up? The game seems really confusing when you go through all the rules. :wacko:

[QUOTE]I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

No, seriously, we play this at my school! Its our favourite passtime, we live for breaktimes and lunchtimes. And it was developed in schools nad has grown in schools. It quite hard, especially with the addition of triples and godsfists :/

Godfists is when instead of playing a simply drive or duck, you hit it with your fists and when it is accompanied by the call "Gods fists" (But usually has a "baby" added at the end for effect) means the group must rally it through until the "Orgin" calls "off".
