This game is similar to 'Captain's Ball', with the addition of a treasure chest (goal) to appeal to younger kids. Pirates play 2v2 in the box, with the 3rd player (captain) standing on the top deck (endzone) where no other players are allowed. Pirates must score by passing the treasure (ball) to their captain, who puts the it in the treasure chest. Another ball is then fed into the game. The first team to collect five treasure balls wins. Teammates then change roles and repeat the game, or you can change the captain after every game.
Movement from the player in the scoring zone is key. They will need to be mobile in order to create gaps to receive the ball.
