The player at the front of the 2 players runs to the middle to collect the ball on the cone and roll it to the player on the opposite side.

This player collects the ball and runs to the middle to put the ball on the cone.

The next player then runs to collect the ball and rolls the ball for next player waiting.

Ask the players to spread themselves and have 1 ball for the players to throw or roll the ball to each other.

The player in the middle has to try and catch the player in possession of the ball. or get to the ball before a player does if it is badly thrown.

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.

Two teams pass the ball to their team mates with an overarm throw which must bounce only once and then must be caught.

Using the throws to advance towards the opposition's grid players must not step inside the grid. When they get close enough they can throw at the stumps. If they miss a team mate can run around the back of the stumps to catch the ball.

If caught that team can have another shot, if the opposition catch the ball they then move back up the field to the opposition's grid.
