  • Energetic, exhilarating and sometimes a bit dangerous. Stickball is a traditional game enjoyed by many people today.

    The game you almost die playing.
    Can’t even be upset because it’s a fun game.

    This is so much cooler than lacrosse! Glad to see that the Cherokee nation is maintaining their culture. Never let it go.

      Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years. My dad used to tell me about the little ball he played stickball with in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up. …A novel approach to storytelling, but I enjoyed it and flipped my copy to my dad. I think he’ll like it.

    When I was very young my grandparents took me to Manchester TN. To a Cherokee POW WOW and we saw either stick ball or lacrosse. There was a large field and at least one very tall pole. My Great Grandmother was 1/4 Cherokee.

    Brilliant game! Fast-moving, skilful, mixed, physical, communal, no fancy kit, lot of mutual respect on the field despite some impressive take-downs, no kissing, no fussy shows and fake injuries. Could say more, but watching or playing there's nothing boring about this. Lots of respect from across the Atlantic.

    In Blood Moon, by John Sedgwick, the description of the game sounds a lot like a SEC college football weekend! The fans & party like atmosphere, the rivalries between the towns, & of course the glory to be won. Even the players & coaches with their pre-game rituals. It's an awesome sport! Imagine how entertaining it'd be to see 'Bama vs A&M, in Stickball!

    I’m part Cherokee native but I was adopted / grew up in an English / Hawaiian speaking family so I’m trying to reconnect to my culture.

    If you live in Mississippi and see some Indians ( like me) they usually play stickball for their traditional Indian culture
    Sometimes they play in games ( like the NFL or NBA) and if you heard the name Choctaw or bongue chitto or something else that's the Indians their talking about

    In the Iroquoisan nation it's lacrosse, a stick with a woven net. Catch and throw, don't touch the ball. And score by tossing the ball into your opponents goal posts... Also high contact
