Each team has a King (player) standing on their bench.
The aim of the game is to get all your team's players (Kings) onto their bench.
To become a King, the players on the same team must successfully pass the ball between themselves to their existing Kings, abiding by the rules of netball, and the king must catch the ball without falling off the bench!

Variation:
Players must complete a set number of passes before being allowed to pass to their king.
