Determine your needs. If you're going to play tetherball all summer long, it might be a wise idea to get a high quality tetherball set that will last a while with extended play. If you're just planning on getting together for an afternoon of tetherball, a small set from a discount store might be all that's necessary.

Try tetherball before you decide what type of set you'll use. See if a neighbor, friend or family member has a tetherball set for you to borrow. That way you can get a good feel if you actually enjoy the game enough to justify investing in a higher quality set.

Keep in mind you will have to set your tetherball pole into some sturdy soil or concrete if you opt for the tetherball set without the base included. Although the base is a major addition to the expense of the set, it's well worth the price for being able to play indoors as well as out.
