PURPOSE
is for offensive players to pass their ball to their ‘catcher’ to score a goal. The catcher can only use the bucket and not
their hands to catch a pass.
HOW IT WORKS
This game is best played indoors or on a basket ball court.
Offensive players must make 3 passes before passing to the ‘catcher’.
Players can only ‘pivot’ with the ball, no dribbling or running with
the ball permitted.
Offensive
players have 3 seconds to dispose of the ball. If not a turnover occurs.
Defenders can ‘intercept’ a ball but cannot steal a ball out of the
opponents hands.
A ball that is on the ground (missed pass) = any team can collect. If
both players grab the ball and tussle over it = jump ball (like in
basketball). Another way you can do it is to alternate the possession
arrow each time.
Only the catcher are permitted into the circle area at each end.
