One person guards every cone & mat (5 guards per side). As soon as object is knocked down they put the paddle down and become a thrower. When all 4 balls & discs are knocked down the game is over. Set-up:Folded mats standing on end with 4 foam disks (power sources) place on the corners. Gator Skin ball (power source) placed on a cone. Mats & cones place on the blue & white tape lines at each end of the gym. Rules: Students may NOT cross the centerline (half court line) when throwing their ball. Student are not allowed to throw the gator-skin balls ONLY the yarn balls. |
