Variation:
-
Use two balls and have a race between two teams.
-
Rather than using a circle players lie in a line--players alternating like a zipper.

The race it to get the ball to touch a wall at the other end of the start side and back to the start line wall without falling off--if the ball falls off then teams must resume from the start line.
-
Once a ball has gone past a player, the player must stand up and run to the other end of the line ready to pass the ball again...
