Equipment: 

2 players (these players are playing the game simultaneously, but more players can play as there is a rotation of players), a wall (this can be your garage, the side of the house, a barn side etc.), a bouncy ball (to make it more difficult you can use a smaller bouncy type ball like a tennis ball), and your hands. 

Make boundary lines with chalk, stones, tape or cones. The boundary line will indicate the out of bounds area. 

Before You Start Playing:

Practice Skills: Practice underhand and overhand ball hitting against the wall. Also, agility footwork is important to practice.

 

Playing Rules:

 

Starting:

1 player serves/hits the bouncy ball towards the wall. This player is called the server. The ball needs to be hit/bounce one time on the ground; then the ball needs to be able to reach/touch the wall. 

The other player, the returner, must allow the ball to hit the wall and then bounce once on the ground before returning/hitting it.  

Players will then alternate hitting/bouncing the ball on the ground and reaching the wall off the bounce.

Players will continue to play until the ball:            

Bounces on a line

Is hit outside the boundaries

Hits/reaches the wall before bouncing off the ground

Bounces twice in a row before it reaches the wall

Does not bounce

 

Once play is stopped, the player who made the mistake goes to the end of the line; a new player comes into the game to play.

 

You can play this game with your friends and family!!!
