A high-stakes kicking and passing game.
A high-stakes kicking and passing game. A group of players kicks a tennis ball around a circle. If a player allows the ball to be kicked directly between their wide-open legs (a "salad"), they are subjected to lighthearted, playful kicks or chases from the rest of the group until they reach a safe zone.
Wherever you grew up — Kingston, Montego Bay, Brooklyn, Toronto, London, Miami — if you remember playing this, we want to hear from you. Send us your story, your photos, or an old video. Every submission helps preserve this game for the next generation.
