Lay out a sqaure approximately 40x40yds. Put around 12 balls in the middle. Split teams evenly at each cone (no more than 3 to a team) When the coach says go one player from each team has to run in and get a ball using their hands. The players keep taking from the middle until they are all gone then they can steel from their opponents. Only one ball can be picked up and carried at a time. Cannot stop a player from picking up a ball. Coach sets the time as to how long they work for. The winner is the player with the most balls. A forfiet can be given to losing players.
