GAMES
FROM FIRST GRADE TO TEENS
Tony Ball
It is a rough game but for young people who like it they keep coming back for more. It is really nothing more than indoor, or in mud, tackle basketball. You use 1 soft rubber or nerf ball for each team. There are 2 or 4 teams and the basket is one of your team members with there arms in a circle. The basket can not move and the players run with the ball and put it in the basket. There is no need to drible but any one can steel the ball from you at any time except the one who is the basket. When a basket is made a leader throws the ball into the middle of the room and play continues. The game can be played up to any number of points and the variations are limitless.
