Back in the early '80s when I was in elementary school, we played a game called "Battle Ball" during PhyEd class.

Basically, you'd divide up into two teams, with each taking one side on a basketball court, with about 15-20 rubber kickballs, and then just "shoot" it out, much like dodge ball. It was rough and both guys and gals played, and we all had a good time, occasional bruises and bangs notwithstanding. I guess the game is no longer played now...

We had occasional broken arms, no big deal. We played rough. We weren’t raised as sissies. And I am a girl.

Some times we got a bunch of kids together and played football or baseball too! Oh we were so bad. LOL

Played as far up as the early-mid 90s. I’m a fat gal and loved that game too!
