-Setting Up:
Two teams stand inside their endzone--could even be a basketball key.
A player on one of the teams holds the ball.
-Instructions:
When the two teams are ready, the player with the ball begins play by throwing/kicking it to the other team.
The other team runs forward to get the ball.
When a player has the ball, he may pivot on one foot but may not walk or run with the ball.
The team with the ball attempts to pass the ball to a player who can eventually catch the ball inside the opponent;s endzone to score a point. The ball has to travel at least one or two paces with each pass. Once a team has scored a point, the game begins anew with the scoring team throwing/kicking the ball to the opposing team in the same way the game was begun.
Players on the defensive team cannot get closer than two paces from a player holding the ball; from that distance they must try to intercept the passed ball.
If a ball is dropped or an incomplete pass is made, the other team takes possession of the ball from where they retrieve it.
