Set up a small square. Split the players into two teams and place one team on each side of your grid, players have a ball each. Place an unusual colour/sized ball in the middle (something like a football or a beach ball is posible), this is the magic ball. The players try to move the magic ball across any other team's goal line by striking it with their ball.After the game starts, any ball that a player can find is valid for use, but you cannot enter the grid nor can you touch the magic ball.
a team wins when the ball is over the others line.
push: step, drag, push. For accuracy in the push aim with foot then stick.
