I remember playing that game. It was okay but if the ball got you in the stomach it hurt.

We played a similar game when I was at my one teacher 15 kids primary school in the bush. I cannot think of the name but I do know that tennis ball would leave a bruise. One or two girls would cry but usually because they were from the baby class and everyone would literally jump on the idiot that hit a baby of 5. We were allowed to find our own levels of acceptable behavior 70 years ago. ( I never actually enjoyed the game but we tried to play together as much as possible.)

It's crazy what the world is coming to...What's funny is that in Canada, lacrosse and hockey are big sports, and those rely a lot on human targeting.
