Nine square is a game similar to four square, where the goal is to get to the center square in the 3x3 grid.  Nine square is a fun game for all ages. It is a twist on the classic school-grounds game "four square." In the game four square, four people stand in a drawn box. A player can step out of the square, though it puts the person at a disadvantage to leave their area. They can touch the ball with any part of their body (head, foot, hip, hand). The goal of the game is to advance to the King or Queen center square. If the ball hits a square and the person inside that square can't hit the ball into another person's square, that person is out of the game. Once a player is "out," they must either leave to stand in the waiting line or move to the lowest square.   Nine square is similar to four square, but the court is lifted off the ground, making it a portable game rather than a stationary game. The rules of the game are similar to the four squares' rules, except the ball isn't allowed to touch the ground. If the ball touches the ground, the person in that square is out. The ball is hit inside a person's square over their head. They can use their hands, head, or feet to hit the ball into another square. The person in that square must hit it back up through their square and into another square. If the ball touches the ground or the ball is hit out of the court, that person is out. The goal of the game is to make it to the king or queen's center square.
