How to Play: The Basics

Tetherball is played with two players. Here's a breakdown of the essential elements:

Starting the Game: Players stand on opposite sides of the pole. A coin flip or similar method determines who serves first. The server hits the ball in their chosen direction.

Gameplay: Players alternate hitting the ball, each trying to wrap it around the pole in their direction. You must hit the ball with an open hand.

Fouls: Common fouls include hitting the ball with a closed fist, catching or holding the ball, stepping out of bounds, or reaching across the center line.

Winning: The player who successfully wraps the ball completely around the pole in their direction wins the game!
