Chuck Thielste and I made javelins out of tennis ball tipped bamboo. We'd ride across the backyard and try to knock each other off. I'm amazed neither of us ever got skewered.
Dirtclod fights - ah, the memories. Trash can lids for shields and a pile of dirtclods hucked at each other from 100' or so away. Did the same with oranges in Valley Center.
We popularized a version of dodge-ball played with tennis balls on a tennis court. Get 8 guys to a side with a whole mess of tennis balls, then go apeschit! I learned what tennis elbow was thanks to that game.
Also tried playing racketball on those outdoor handball walls, but use golf balls. People figured out in a hurry that was just bad mojo.
