Split players into 2 teams; Catchers and runners. The catchers must pass the ball around the cirlce until they get to 20, when they get to 20, the shout stop. At the same time, the runners will run back and forth until the catchers shout stop. Whatever the runners score is the score to beat when teams swap over. Progression If the catchers drop the ball, they must start over at 0. Alternative Runners run until both sides reach 20 runs. At the same time, catchers throw the ball around the circle and whatever they score when the runners shout stop is the score to beat. Again, if catchers drop the ball, they start at 0.
