Set up a large grid with a ‘bank’ in each corner. Divide the grid halfway
down the middle and create two even teams. Each team is responsible for defending the two banks on their own half. Be sure that when the game starts, the banks on each side contain the same number of balls.
When the game begins, the two teams attempt to steal soccer balls from the
opposing team’s two banks and dribble them back to their own.
Player’s are considered ‘safe’ on their own half of the grid. However, when a
player enters the other side, the opposition can tag them. In the event that a
player gets tagged they must sit down and can only be rescued if a
teammate comes and high fives them. When successfully rescued, both
players get a free pass to walk back to their own side safely.
players are also safe while inside the opposing team’s bank.
