-
Place each team’s pins at the back of the end zone
-
No players may go in this area accept to retrieve a ball.
-
Front of the end zone line should be far enough forward so that if defense totally blocks a pin, a ball can be thrown over the defense.
-
-
Each team is given their colour balls to begin.
-
Players are in a scattered position on their half of the court
-Instructions:
-
At the leader’s signal to begin, players attempt to knock down their opponent’s pins.
-
Players may cross the centre line to make it easier to knock a pin down. However:
-
If players cross the centre line and are hit by a ball, those players are eliminated from throwing balls at the pins and may only retrieve balls (on their own half) to give back to their teammates.
-
-
First team to knock down the other team’s pins is the winner.
