A fun warm-up game here. This gets all the kids moving at the beginning of the session. Pretty simple rules
1. The kids are in teams on either side of the net.
2. When the time starts, they throw all the balls over the net onto the other side, and keep doing this until the coach stops them.
3. When the coach stops them, the team with the least amount of balls on their side wins the game.
