I wish I’d known that as a kid. Our folks got us a tetherball, but never told us the rules of the game or how you win. So after a pointless hour of play my sisters ended up giving up on the darn thing and I eventually used it for batting practice from then on out. Had we known how to play it might have been fun.

I don’t even want to know how Charlie Brown got to the top the post from all of Lucy’s pounding.

If only she applied that aggression to baseball.

I haven’t played tetherball since sixth grade — and you’d better believe that kids were just that aggressive back then!

I wonder if tether ball is even around these days, what with the over zealous parental concerns their child might get injured during playtime…

Stephanie Bear. She was a master at tetherball. Ah, good old Eugene Tincher Elementary.

You can’t play Red Rover these days, either!

First the Kite-Eating Tree, and now Lucy and that pole. Who knows for how long he is going to be trapped there now.

I played it in grade school…but I preferred zall ball (sp?) … it was a tennis ball on a rope and we used paddles much the same as tether ball.
