Setup:
There are two playing fields.
Select one player to be the cat and send them to the opposing team's field.
Gameplay:
On a signal, the cat attempts to tag one of the opponents, while the players pass the ball to one another.
A player holding the ball cannot be tagged by the cat.
The cat continues trying to tag players until either 30 seconds have passed or they successfully make three correct tags.
After this, a new cat is chosen.
Teams earn points based on their performance.
Making It More Challenging:
Dribbling Rule: The cat must dribble a ball continuously while attempting to tag players.
