Answer 3

It's actually both. I was looking through the internet and I found different ways to play from what I remember growing up. Things could have changed over the years or we may have played a street form of handball. I remember in the late *cough, cough* 70s and the early *cough, cough* 80s (I'm telling my age now....lol) we played handball with a spalding ball against one wall in the center of the junior high school yard and there was a small court outlined on the ground. The lines were long, basically the one that won kept possession of the wall until someone else beat them and the wall was relinquished to the new winner/winners. You could play individually or as a team. When the lines were too long we just used the school or project walls. For those who were uncoordinated with a small ball, they used paddles (similar to the ones used in ping pong). So you either played handball, paddle ball or basketball during recess.
