tetherballs
Pole-attached play balls
Tetherballs are balls attached by rope or cord to a fixed pole, used in a playground game where two players try to wind the rope completely around the pole by hitting the ball in opposite directions.
The word also refers to the game itself: We played tetherball at recess.
More commonly appears as the two-word *tether ball* or the singular *tetherball*.
