My new favorite sport

[Elios]

Simply put: Throwing a tennis ball at a brick wall.

I just spent the last half hour throwing a tennis ball at the side of a school. And i haven't felt this energized in a long time. It's so simple, and yet, so much fun. Throw catch throw catch ooh! dodge! I feel like i got a great work out, and i'm still full of energy! After sitting at this computer for hours and hours, it felt really good to get my blood pumpin'.

I highly recommend this activity if you're really bored, It's easy too, just grab your balls and throw them at a wall.

Would be a good way to kill time if you were in solitary confinement.

Even Better Sport:

Shoot like 20-50 paintballs directly up and then see how many you can catch in your mouth.

Try handball. Same thing but the ball is rubber and you smack the ball with your hand and your opponent tries to do the same without the ball missing and hitting the ground

Sometimes i get the guys together and play a good old fashioned game of wall ball

We should be friends.

Handball was a favorite of mine when I was a kid...
Suicide Handball was a better one...

Basically, if you lost, then you had to stand at the wall and everyone had a shot of smacking the ball as hard as possible on your backs.

My hands are soft, but man... could they become harder than rock slates when I played suicide hand ball...I bruised a few friends (and they bruised me too.)

Ahhhh....
summer memories.

We called it "Wall Ball" when we played it in grade school - and it was a lot of fun.

If you catch the ball two-handed, right off the wall without it bouncing on the ground, the person who previously threw the ball has to tag the wall or be pegged.

If you catch the ball one-handed, everyone has to run to the wall and touch it, or be pegged.

Sometime we even played a "peg zone" in which the area directly in front of the wall (4-5ft) is the peg zone, so even if you tag the wall you can still get pegged if you are in the peg zone. And god help you if you forget your surroundings while standing around, because you will be pegged.

... oh every morning at the bus stop going to elementary school, we did the same thing. Those were the days. so fun, so simple minded. Now everything is just porn and violence.

/the days

"Wally" is better. Get a group of people and take turns to kick a football (soccer ball) against the wall, using only one touch. Works better with a shorter wall so you can hit the ball hard at a shallow angle to make it harder for the next person. Spent hours of my childhood playing this...

We played a variation called suicide were as along as you got the ball to the wall without have it bounce you were fine. Otherwise, you had to hustle your ass to touch the wall before someone pegged you and you would be out. The other rule was if someone caught it in the air before it bounced you also had to touch the wall before you got pegged. However, if you touch the ball but don't get it, hustle your ass time before more pegging.

Man, yard sports are brutal now thinking about it.

we played burnball which was kinda like that. every time you touched the ball but weren't able to catch it, you had to run and touch the wall, and everyone else is trying to hit you with the ball before you touch it. if you got hit 3 times, you had to stand against the wall and everyone playing got a free shot. oh dangerous kid games. good times.

elios i'd like you to meet my friend tennis racket

you could keep yourself entertained forever

It's called Wall Ball. It's for 2nd graders. I find it hard to believe that a 23 year old (from New York, no less) would find this amusing or new.

Play a man's sport... like Ultimate Fighting, or Russian Roulette.

I don't think this "sport" is entertaining.

[PulpFree]

I'm pretty sure that this entire thread was just an excuse for OP to say "grab your balls."
