-Setting Up:

  • All team members line up in single file, one behind the other, facing the back of the person in front of them.

  • The person in the back of the line begins with the ball.

-Instructions:

  • At the signal to begin the back player rolls the ball forward between her team’s legs–the rest of the team helps hit the ball forward to the front player, and moves to the front of the line once the front player gets the ball.

  • When the player in the front gets the ball, he passes the ball over his head to the player behind him–each player in turn passes the ball over their head to the player behind them.

  • When the back player gets the ball, he rolls it forward between his team’s legs.

  • The front player passes the ball overhead.

  • Continue till the back person is at the back of the line for the third time, at which point the team sits down.

  • The first team to complete the relay and be seated is the winner.

-Questions & Notes:

  • Variation:

    • Wobbly Arch and Roll Relay

      • The same as with Arch and Roll Relay except that a football or rugby ball is used which will not roll as smoothly between the player’s legs.
