Description

Tetherball is one of the most popular backyard games for all ages. It is a game for two players and involves hitting a ball, connected to a pole by a rope, back and forth using only the hand and arm. The object of the game is to hit the ball so that it circles the pole and wraps around it, a move known as a “wrap”. The first player to wrap the ball around the pole a certain number of times wins the game.
 
Tetherball can be played on any smooth surface, such as grass or asphalt, with or without a playing court. It is recommended to use a soft surface and a playing court to ensure safety and accuracy, as the ball can move quickly and unpredictably.
 
It is important to note that the ball must not be hit with any other part of the body or with an object, such as a bat or racket. Doing so is considered a foul and results in the other player being awarded a point.
 
The game is typically played to eleven points and the winner is the first player to reach that number. However, some players prefer to play to fifteen or twenty points instead.
 
Tetherball is a great way for kids to stay active and have fun. It is easy to learn and can be played anywhere. It is also an ideal game for family gatherings, birthday parties, and other outdoor events.
