In high school when it was raining outside, we got to play either Bombardment or Battle Ball on the basketball court. Bombardment had two teams (like dodge ball) and Battle Ball was every man for himself. We used these red rubber balls that were a little bigger than a softball, but only about half as big as a basketball. And you could really sling em. They'd leave big red welts if you got totally smoked by one. And you could throw at guys heads, no rule against it. It was fun and if you won Battle Ball, you were the king shit in gym for the week! That was the 1970's though. No way they'd allow that now.
