Six players - five with bibs, one without (the catcher) Each player with a bib has a ball Blue players (players with a bib) dribble the ball around an 8m x 8m marked square, controlling their ball infront of them. Player without bib (the catcher) attempts to kick the ball of a blue player out of the square. If blue player's ball is successfully kicked out of square, blue player removes bib and joins the non bib player as another catcher and also tries to kick a blue player's ball out of the square. Game finishes when only one blue player remains with their ball. Game begins again, the winner of this game is now the catcher. Rule: Blue players are not allowed to dribble ball out of square. If the ball is out of the square the blue player becomes a catcher also.
