
Server bounces ball, then hits it underhand to any square.
The ball must bounce only once in the square and then that player hits it to another
square.
The ball must bounce before being hit to the next square.
The ball must be struck with an open hand.
Waiting players line up 3 feet from the game.
Stepping on or over the line is a foul, causing the player to be out (except when stepping
out of your own square).
Players rotate towards square A. Only the person who is "out" leaves the game. New
players enter at square D.
Square A is always the server.
If the ball hits on a line, it is an out for the hitter.
If the ball is made to bounce over an opponent's head, it is an out for the hitter.
Four Square rules
Make a square and number squares 1-4.
The game begins with number one dropping the ball and hitting it
underhanded into any of the other
squares. The person standing in that square lets the ball bounce
in their square, before hitting it
underhanded to any other
square. The game continues until the ball is hit out of bounds or a player
can not retrieve the ball. If the player in square number one loses, each
of the players move up one square and a new number one comes into play.
Player number one moves to square four. Play with any kind of ball that
bounces well.
TEAM 4 SQUARE-(pairs)---There will be 8 players to a court (4 teams
of two players). One teammate stands outside the four square area ready
to enter. The other is in the court. After a player in a square strikes
the ball, she moves to the outside area and the teammate enters the court
and gets ready to strike the next ball that comes into the respective
square. The rest of the rules are the same as regular four square. Hope this
helps! Pat from KS.
