wtf? I'm pretty sure you use a tennis ball, you fricken bounce the ball in your square first and NOT god damn fool it every fricken time. don't know how to spell fool...
Jesus. Who the hell plays with the big baby bouncey balls to play 4 square? Those are for dodgeball. Real 4 square uses a tennis ball. Kids these days...
Yeah i've never ever seen it where it doesn't need to bounce in your square at all. Backstops sure, but just overhanding wherever it comes to you is bogus.
I love playing no overhand rules. Anything from side hits and below only allowed. Also, strikes are made on the side and under the ball only. Makes the game more fun for all skill levels!
Lol americans sux... Im going in a school in denmark im very high to the game we are sometimes jumping after ball and we are playing with the ball half cm over the earth.. I really want to come in american can pwn these fucking noobs xD
at my high school, i think we are like the only school to take 4 square seriously. we get too into it. there is at least 2 fights per week over 4 square. the green guy is legit though.
My friends and I play handball with those special handballs the size of a tennis ball or cricket ball...it's way funner and requires way more skill. Plus you gotta hit it onto the ground of your square and into the other persons square first, only problem is some douche bags do really bad serves
Back in the day we used to have rivalries between certain classrooms and every recess break was an intense showdown and strategy of who serves, who can do the best tricks, who's gonna sacrifice themselves for the team.. It was a serious game!
Hey i totally appreciate this video! It brings back cherished memories of when I grew up in the 1980s, but I gotta say that our 4-square games were way more complex and competitive in the ghetto than this! ;-) same as jumping rope, girls did extreme wildass double-dutch moves lol
wey ell... downward hits and crossing the line into an opposing square are standard outs in most leagues and tourneys... a matter of preference perhaps, but El Magico would not stand for it.
if you use a freestanding court on a lawn,it is much better because you can always tell when the ball is out, and getting an "ace" is almost a sure victory.
Green man is legit. I know when a play though the ball has to bounce once before its hit. I saw some hits where the ball hadn't bounced once... maybe thats not a universal rule?
Y'all need to stop saying that the players in the video aren't playing right. Everyone's got home rules and it's all different. The world champs play by Boston style rules, which are different than the rules here in Philly. It's all good
learn how to play, you can't bounce then hit on your serve. and has to hit your square before you can hit it after serve, try using back spin rather than spiking, because this people are really bad.
I hate people like you that think just because you're older you have to give something up. You have only one life. If you enjoy something then keep at it.
we used play with a huge yoga ball but it was only two square you could have two people on a team and the each hit it once or you could be by yourself and hit it twice..... good times
Hate the game not the players, haters. Did you see sweatpants' no-look spike? Or his diving saves? No, i guess you guys missed it.
And to you guys that say you could beat these dudes when u were 5 years old, think again. These dudes are playing by the OFFICIAL RULES! Look em up. That means NO cherry bombs, NO type writers, NO carries, NO bobbles...Ha! Try playing by the rules and you'll get ur ass rocked!!!!
im from AUS and we defenitly dont play like that we have a king a queen jack and dunce king seves u hit it in ur square into someone elses then they hit it and there is a thing called a snaky wen it gets close to the ground u smash it and it looks like it is rolling but it still bounces
thats how we play it at my school and can someone tell me wat a bus stop is
Australian variant seems so much more skillful to me. And where I go to school we frown upon (some of us, anyway) four square because in schoolyards it leads to ganging up on somebody. :(
Ok, how we play... Theres king queen jack and pawn. king serves it, duh, and he picks the rules such as bus stop, jack pot, cherry bomb, apple turnover, juggling, soccer rules, all kinds of shit. and it can only hit your square once. If you hit it to your own square your out.
okay i didnt realise that the version im talkin about is officially "downball". i've just always known 4-sqaure and downball to be the same thing. but downball is much much better than this, even just to watch.
this version of four square sucks. i use a tennis ball and the ball bounces in your sqaure first. this american version absolutely sucks, i mean why use such a big ball, not much skill involved. try playing some good shots with a tennis ball. until now i didnt even know there was such a variant of four sqaure as this, disappointing.
Umm... First of all, in the U.S. we usually play with a basketball. Second of all, it is not really much easier. With such a big ball, you have longer volleys and the game is a little crazier. You can't spike a tennis ball. However, you can spike a bigger ball. Also, I think that this is the way 4-square was originally intended to be played. You wouldn't really think it sucked if you played it. It looks incredibly easy in this video, though. That's because everybody is standing back so far.
I agree. I'm much better than any of these people. I can beat a lot of people at my school with my bad hand. I am best at spiking, catching, the cheapo, and the hold.
No, you're thinking of Ben from team Brooooklyn!! He was the one in the red sweatband, he just missed making the finals.
I totally dive in the background game around 2:50, woohoo! Nowhere near as impressive as Cody's dives though-- you deserved that win 100%! Brilliantly played four square right there. Hope to see you and everyone else again next year.
2:30 to 2:35 is the best play on this video.
