My all time favorite schoolyard game growing up was Capture the Flag. I'm not talking about a computer, or video game version, but the actual indoor/outdoor activity. I never played the game beyond grade school, and I often wonder why it's such a forgotten sport. Capture the Flag requires skills such as speed, agility, stamina, and awareness. There are many variations of Capture the Flag, and different rules apply to each variation.
I'm surprised that a Professional Capture the Flag League doesn't exist in 2016. It could be made into a full contact sport by replacing tagging with tackling. The skill of climbing could also be utilized by placing the flags high above ground level. If we can put a flag on the moon, then I know that we can put a flag on a field, and let people run with it.

Dodgeball was the best schoolyard game growing up.
