That’s the beauty of punchball and slapball. They were always impromptu and unstructured, in large contrast to today’s organized sports. That’s what made it fun. We did it on the spur of the moment, when the mood struck us, and often made up rules as we went along. (Yeah, sure, there were “official” rules, but they were always very bendable depending on the situation.)

I have no doubt that kids will love this stuff once they’re introduced to it. What’s not to love? In fact, several of my friends’ kids have already tried skully and punchball and are hooked.
