Split into two teams; one team stands in the middle of a marked area while the other spreads out around its edges.

Outer-team players take turns throwing the ball, trying to hit a player standing in the middle below the waist.

A middle player who is hit below the waist is eliminated and joins the outer team.

Middle players may dodge, duck, or catch the ball; a clean catch eliminates the thrower instead and sends them to the middle.

Continue rounds of throwing until only one middle player remains.

That last remaining player wins the round, and the teams may reset and swap starting sides to play again.
