Choctaw stickball is a sport that makes football and rugby pee its pants. No pads. No helmets. No room for weaklings. 100% heart and blood is required. Your weapons are yourself and two 3ft long sticks. You can spear the other guy if you can get away with it. You can tackle or trip them anyway you want. You can beat them with your sticks. Practices last from 10am to 6pm. The object of the game is to hit a tall skinny pole with a small ball using the sticks. While this seems hard enough, there's 50 guys running around trying to knock you silly. I grew up loving this game cuz it's the most physical around.
