Players: All players except the two catchers have a ball at the feet; the catchers put on bibs.
Procedure
- The players have to dribble away from the catchers.
- The aim of the catchers is to play the balls out of the playing area.
- If a ball has been played out of the playing area fairly or a player dribbles out, the catcher and that player form a chain and hold hands.
- Once four players are in a chain, it splits into two chains of two.
- A round is over when all the balls have been played out of the playing area.
Tip
- Try to evade the catchers with body feints.
- Look up from the ball.
