Main Phase
Cops and Robbers
Coaching Pointers:
Select two or three volunteers to be the “cops.” All the “robbers” line up at one end with their “diamonds” (soccer balls). The robbers attempt to dribble their “diamond” from one end to the other without having their diamond kicked out by a cop. If their diamond gets kicked out, they go to jail (a designated area outside the grid). If a robber successfully dribbles across the grid 5 times, then a jailbreak occurs and all those in jail get to re-enter the game
