Mark out a square using cones.
One player stands in each square and left overs at the side.
Game is played like hand ball when players must pass the ball into other squares to try and get the player out.
Players must only make one touch on the ball ie trap and push.
Pushing only allowed
Players get out if they miss the ball and the ball goes out of the square or if they make more than one touch on the ball. (for beginners you can allow more than one touch)
When a player is out ball returns to ACE (top left square) and remiaing players move around to fill squares last square filled by a waiting player from the edge.
This game encourages fast play but enforcing trapping first is important.
Close watch is important to help with who is out.
