The players behind start running around the circle in a clockwise direction.
When the coach shouts ATTACK, each player must get back to their partner - staying outside the circle and moving clockwise.
They must get through their partners legs before getting to the center of the circle and steeling a ball, then carrying it back and passing it to their partner.
The team/group that does not get a ball is LEFT OUT!
Make sure that you have something for the players that are out of the main game to do.
Have the players return their ball to the center of the circle, but reduce the number of ball in the center of the circle by one. So if there are 7 groups left, there should only be 6 balls. The players swap roles in their groups, so the previous runner is now static.
Start the game again.
Experiment with the number of balls in the center of the circle - to make the game harder or easier.
