In games like wall ball, if a thrown ball doesn't hit the wall, it typically results in a penalty or loss of a turn, depending on the game's specific rules. This ensures fair play and that players follow the intended mechanics of the game. The consequences for not hitting the wall may vary based on the agreed-upon conditions among players.

The term "wall ball" refers to games played with a ball against a wall, where players take turns hitting the ball and following specific rules or patterns. The name comes from the interaction of the ball with the wall. Rules and objectives can vary depending on the region or version, but the common element is the use of a ball and a wall.

In games where throwing a ball at another player is not part of the rules or is considered unsafe, it is generally not allowed and can lead to a penalty. Specific penalties depend on the game's rules and the context in which it is being played. In many organized games and sports, intentionally throwing a ball at another player can result in penalties such as a loss of turn, a foul, or even ejection from the game, particularly if it's deemed to endanger the safety of others or goes against the spirit of fair play. Adhere to the rules and respect the safety of all participants when engaging in any game involving throwing objects.
