Supervision

• On-site supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized.

Instructional Considerations

• All rules should be clearly outlined and enforced.

Equipment/Facilities

• Tetherball should be in good repair, with properly working connections at ball and at pole.
• Rope should be in good repair and without excessive fraying.
• Teacher should check pole periodically. A pole with a severe lean or that’s loose at the base must be repaired.
• Tetherball poles should be situated away from traffic areas and areas where other games are played, e.g., volleyball, four square, basketball.
