2 teams of 3-6 play with 1 ball between them.
The player who has the ball has to try and roll (under arm throw) the ball into the end zone to score a run.
The opposition can try to prevent this happening by stopping the ball rolling into the end zone using the long barrier or other fielding techniques.
Whichever player collects the ball has to try and throw the ball from where they have collected it into the other end zone.
Players are not allowed to pass the ball to each other.
Scoring:
1 run is scored for rolling the ball into end zone.
5 runs are scored if the ball hits the wicket (you could add a couple of wickets if available).
If the opposition catches the ball, the other team lose all their points and the game continues.
Game finishes when a team reaches a set number of points.
