In the mid 90s, my middle-school best friends Drew, Steven, and I invented a game which we then played for years in Drew’s backyard. We adjusted the rules when necessary, and as a result it’s a surprisingly balanced and fun game. I introduced it to my 6- and 10-yr-old and now they ask to play it.
All you need is three players, four chairs, a medium size bin or basket, and a ball. It can be adapted to most yards. Check out how to play at the link below.
