ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses an apparatus and method for playing a game (10) on a playing surface with a tethered ball (28) and stringed racquets. The ball (28) is connected to one end of a resilient tether cord (24), which is anchored at the other end to the playing surface. A boundary line (54) of predetermined length is positioned on the playing surface in spaced apart relationship with the anchor point of the tether cord (24). The boundary line (54) divides the playing surface into a playing zone (56) wherein the players must remain during the game, and a bounce zone (58). The ball (28) must be struck by the players such that it crosses over the boundary line (54) and bounces initially in the bounce zone (58).
