I remember playing “skelly”…

I remember playing “skelly” in Brooklyn (East NY) during the mid/late 60s. We were fortunate enough to have severaly skelly boards permamently painted in the playground. We also used melted crayons to add the weight.
A couple of years ago, I introduced my daughters to the game. I drew a board w/ chalk on the back patio. Although, I found it difficult to get down on my knees for each shot (whew!) – I enjoyed playing the games w/ my kids again.
