This is a fun and light game that kids can play to keep the spirit of competition
Set Up
Create a small playing area, 25×20, and in the middle create a 10×20 box using cones. You will use Tennis Balls for this game for safety, or a lightweight foam lacrosse ball. Split your players in half, and line each team up on both end lines. Put 1 ball for half the kids (8v8, use 8 balls) in the middle 10 yard box across the field. On the whistle, players will go try to get a ground ball and bring it back into their zone. Here are the rules:
- Players cannot throw the ball while they are still inside the 10 yard box, you must retreat back to your side first
- If the ball is thrown, and hits a player, that player who was hit, is OUT.
- If the ball is thrown, and the player the ball is aimed at CATCHES it, the ball thrower is OUT
- Once your down to half of a single team (start 8v8 and it become 6v4), take away half of the balls and reset gameplay
*coaches should be behind both groups, backing up and shots that go through the gameplay
