Jamaica
dandy shandy
A fast paced game where two throwers stand some distance apart from each other and attempt to hit one or more opposing players in the space between them with a ball (usually a box ball). The throwers do not move while the dodgers are free to run within the space. If the dodgers get hit, they are out and trade places with the throwers. To avoid getting hit, the dodgers often have to perform a great deal of acrobatics. It is primarily a girls' game, however boys will frequently participate.
