Undergraduates at The University of Texas at Arlington in Health and Sports Studies who played, and analyzed TowerballÒ on grass
“TowerballÒ is a new, inventive game that is challenging to play. While possessing some striking similarities
to basketball, they’re many differences that make TowerballÒ a sport of its own. I will enjoy seeing this sport added to the physical
education programs at all levels of school” Terry D
“TowerballÒ
is a game I find very exciting to play. I feel as if it gives everyone an equal opportunity to participate in the game. I
believe that this game can succeed in a school environment “…wonderful exercise in the process... the game doesn’t
provide traditional ideas as to what players should be as far as height, size, and speed. The constant motion allows for the
usage of quicker and smaller players, but the tip in factor …allows for taller, slower players to contribute as well.”..”I
enjoyed playing the game and feel it has a future as a successful game for everyone.” Tarance L
“TowerballÒ is an excellent game to use in any school environment and has several advantages over basketball…more
open game than basketball … more teams …play is more constant.… fewer children are left on the sidelines…less
likely than basketball to be dominated by the biggest, strongest, or most skilled players.... excellent sport for older children
who have already mastered the object control and locomotor skills necessary to play the game... TowerballÒ provides a great means of developing these skills in younger children
who are not yet ready to focus on strategy.” Liz D
“TowerballÒ has several advantages over basketball
that could make it a good elementary or junior high activity. The main advantage over basketball is that a lot more people can play…Another advantage is that it requires
more strategy than basketball to play and win. You also develop some skills such as passing and agility in Towerball better
than basketball…”Clay P
“...Ultimately,
I see TowerballÒ as a great game” Carlos
