The playing area is a square and each team is sitting on one sideline of their square. 3. Each team member numbers down their line which assigns them an individual number. There should be a total of four #1's, four #2's etc.. There must be an equal number of players for all four teams. 4. The caller calls out a number, such as #2's, and each team will send out their #2 crabwalking out to begin kicking the ball. They may not stand up. 5.

Players may not touch the ball. 6. When a team knocks the large ball past the other team's throwing line, the team that knocked the ball across receives the point. 7. When a point is scored, the four players go be seated at the end of their team's line and the first four players at the beginning of the line come out to play the next point. 8. The team with the most points at the end of time is the winner. OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME: To knock the large ball over their opponent's throwing line. VARIATIONS OF THE GAME: Put more players on the court. Add more playground balls to throw Use different size/amount of balls in the center

Each team is divided into four equal teams. Team #1, #2, #3, #4 2. The playing area is a square and each team is sitting on the sidelines of their square 3. Each team member numbers down their line, which assigns them an individual number. There should be a total of four #1's, four #2's etc. The teams must have the same amount of numbers. 4. The caller calls out a number, such as #5. All #5's stand up and run around the outside of the playing area to the team's hoop (placed beside the #1 player) and gets a playground ball from the inside hoop area. 5. The playground ball is rolled at the pins which are located in the center of the square. 6. Players must have either both feet or one foot inside the hoop when the ball is released. Players retrieve their own ball if the pin is missed. 7. A point is awarded for each pin that is knocked down to the team that has knocked the pin down. It is possible for one team to score both points. 8. Play is continued throughout the time and the team that has the most points at the end is the winner.
