With older players allow the player at the front of the line to lead, the other players must follow their example. Regularly change the player at the front of the line.

In one third of the court any number of players work with one ball between them.

Players line up in 2 lines facing each other.

2. Blue player 3 turns and passes to Blue player 4, and then runs on to join the line behind Blue player 2.
3. Blue player 4 then throws to Blue player 1 who runs forwards to meet pass,
4. Blue player 1 turns and passes to Blue player 2. Blue player 1 then runs behind Blue player 4 etc.

Split your players into 2 teams 4v4 with one ball to start and mark out a square grid (20x20) by using cones.

The white players (catchers) pass the ball between themselves to try and tag the black player (escaped prisoner) with the ball.

The black player has to stay inside the grid, as do the white players. White players can only move when they do not have the ball.

Once the black players gets tagged they switch with the white player who tagged them.
