At School 08

Players: 4
Boys
Age: 9-10
Props: Ball and Bat Tennis racquet

Played on the entire basket ball court as if it was a tennis court. Two players up each end with plastic yellow bats. The bats were not tennis racquet shaped or table-tennis bats, but more like the plastic bats designed to be used at the beach during the late 60s or early 70s. The players up each end took turns to hit the ball back to the other end.
One of the players, in a departure from the rules or expected decorum, without warning threw his bat down, in a tantrum, claiming that the situation wasn't fair and that his partner wasn't letting him have a turn. With a little encouragement, he was coaxed back onto the court and took up his position again. His partner then allowed him to take the next hit of the ball and all seemed well from then onward.
