How the Game is Played:
Play in matches of 3, 5, or 7 games. Each player takes a turn serving for a whole
game. The serving player may serve the ball in either direction. The receiving player must allow the ball to
swing around the pole at least once before striking the ball. The receiving player then hits the ball in the
opposite direction. After the ball swings at least one time around the pole, any player may hit the ball.
Marking the Playing Area:
Four Play Area markings are molded into the bottom of the tetherball base.
Draw chalk lines from the Play Area markings outward to create a playing field 20’ in diameter. Mark off
the Neutral Zone Areas with chalk.
Neutral Zone Violations:
Players must remain in their own Play Area. Neither player may step into the
Neutral Zones or on a line of a Neutral Zone.
All other Non-intentional, Intentional, and Double Violations apply.
