-Setting Up:
-
Two players (per game) use markers to establish their court, perhaps one pace deep and two paces wide, with a middle "net" line.
-Instructions:
-
One player tosses the ball over the "net" so that it bounces in the opponent's space.
-
The receiver catches the ball after only one bounce and then tosses the ball back into their opponent's space.
-
Continue until one player is unable to catch the ball after one bounce, or the ball is thrown outside of the opponent's space--which scores a point.
-
Go again.
