Downball Or 4 Square

[paulr33]

Back in the days of your primary school / high school / secondary collage did you refer the game as Downball or 4 Square? The game I am talking of was played with generally 4 players (but not limited to) and the playes were given titles of King, Queen, Jack and Dunce. The object of the game was to hit a tennis ball and to get the other players "out".

What did you call it? To me it was known as Downball, others believe 4 square

[Jackie]

[Bec]

4 Square - which we turned into 12 - 16 square once we hit high school

[Snowman]

We called it Kings.

Downball is played against a wall you weird people.

cmon vote people, downball has to win

[Leewah]

I'm with the Snowcone!! Downball is against the wall you MONKEHS!!!

4 square is the one with the King, Queen (which led later on to a social complex), Jack and Dunce.

As Bec also stated, this carried on until it was some ridiculous number like 16 where you ended up having to lob the ball over everyone's head to make it fun.

Loved the backhanded shot to fool the person behind you.

4 Square (as it was to us) was often referred to as Kings, but the name never really stuck.
