  1. Game - Passing the Ball

    Share Share Post
    An even number of players are on each side. The ball is thrown up in the centre of the field. Whatever player catches it, starts to pass the ball to a player on his own side, and that player passes it on to the next player. If a person on the opposite side gets the ball, he passes it on to one of his own players. Whatever side keeps the ball the longest time, wins the game.
