I remember playing games like RED-ASS, where kids are getting tennis balls thrown at them, WITH THE INTENTION OF CAUSING PHYSICAL HARM. Games like tag and manhunt were our peacekeeping games.

My kids played RED-ASS all the time in Michigan. The parents knew and if a kid got hurt, too bad, you shouldn't be playing RED-ASS. My son Jake was pretty good at it.
