Eton Wall Game

The Eton Wall Game is a traditional British sport played at Eton College, involving two teams competing to keep a ball against a high stone wall marked with a grid. Players work to gain control of the ball and push it upward along the wall, aiming to reach a designated goal area while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The game emphasizes strategic positioning, teamwork, and physical agility, with minimal equipment—primarily a small leather ball and uniforms. It is played on a narrow, enclosed space and is characterized by its unique rules and historical significance in Eton's athletic tradition.
