This game is played in many schools in WA. I can go on record as playing it in high school in 1989 in Perth. Anyone know the earliest this was played?

I moved to Vermont in 1986 and back then we were playing a very similar game which we called 'Watermelon' only it was played with a larger ball - the red rubber bouncy ball used for kickball and dodgeball in elementary schools. See here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhsAKRn10G4 (hopefully I'm not breaking the rules by putting an outside website here). Niccast (talk) 05:36, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Australia
Are the comments about Australia genuinely for Wallball, or do they actually refer to Downball? —DIV (1.129.111.116 (talk) 03:37, 20 October 2019 (UTC))

 * Wallball → Wallball (children's game)
 * Wallball (disambiguation) → Wallball

Suggest moving this article elsewhere and making the six-game list at Wallball (disambiguation) the primary. There are several games in the US and Australia which are "also known as wallball" and there's nothing to suggest that the one that happens to be described here - with one weak source and what looks like an accumulation of local rules - is the single WP:PRIMARYTOPIC that most visitors will be looking for.

 * Support This game does not appear to be a primary topic. Wallball (game) is sufficient disambiguation, though. 162 etc. (talk) 21:53, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support this alternative '. Proposed name ' is excessive disambiguation. Andrewa (talk) 20:00, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
