___________________________________________
Whether you know it as downball, handball or something else, kids have been playing this game all over the country for generations.
These days, school kids use a high-bounce rubber ball, which is a break from the tatty tennis ball tradition, and they say it adds some much-needed speed to the game.
That we don’t know where downball came from (or whether it was invented by a kid) makes this sport all the more magical.
