A game where you throw a tennis ball so that it bounces and then hits the wall, then the next player has to do the same.
The ball is allowed to bounce once after it hits the wall, failure to hit the ball results in the player who missed it to go out. Boundries exist, height and width.
When the ball hits exactly between the floor and the wall it is called 'Mids' and a rethrow is taken.
When someone gets in the way of you hitting the ball 'Obbs' is called and a rethrow takes place.
The one who serves the ball, is allowed one fault/bad serve.

This game was created in 1999 by KFX of Gunnersbury Catholic School when Gibbon banned hard footballs in the playground and allowed only sponge balls -costing 5 pounds - though worth less than 20p. Patball grew in popularity until it was banned in 2000, though this ban was ignored by the pupils, and even today with the original creators having left the school the sport is still thriving.
The definition of patball is pretty self explanatory.
Though in latter years a bouncy ball instead of a tennis ball was sometimes used.

pat-ball 

Pat-Ball or pat ball as it is also known is a game played predominantly by the youth of London. The game is played at school and involves hitting a tennis ball (or ball of similar properties) against the wall via the floor.

At present there is an initiative to create the first World Championships of Pat-Ball at Pat-Ball.COM.
The game is similar to squash except for a few minor details:
1) You use your hand to 'pat' the ball as opposed to a raquet.
2) The ball has to hit the floor before it hits the wall.
3) There are no side walls.
A point is lost by:
1) The ball bouncing on the floor twice on your turn.
2) The ball not hitting the designated part of the wall.
3) The ball hitting the wall without bouncing first.
4) The ball not hitting the wall.

pattball 

-Ball game requiring use of your hand by patting the ball off the ground to hit the wall.
-Played against a wall.
pattball Game instructions:

1.Two players or more can play at any one time. An order is decided for the players, where - in chronological order - the succeeding player will attempt to shoot.

2.The first player serves by throwing the ball to the floor near the wall, making it bounce and hit the wall.

3.The second player can let the ball bounce once after hitting the wall, before hitting it to the floor again so it bounces onto the wall and back to the next player. The succeeding player can hit the ball without it bouncing first ("volley the ball") in some variations.

4.This continues until one player misses the ball and fails to return it to the other player or hits the wall directly without letting the ball bounce (produces a "direct"). The player that failed to hit it back is out and a new "half-round" begins with the players that are not yet out (if the game consists of more than two players).

5.When the final two players (if there were other players as well) are left, they compete in rounds where the winner is declared out of two points. In some instances, the final round does not have to go though the "out-of-two" phase. Instead, the final players can decide the winner out of one point.

6.If the players decide to start a completely new round, the order is based on the players that were out first being last, e.g. if there were five players competing, the first player to get out would be fifth in the order.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
