MATERIALS
- Two small hide-wrapped balls joined by a short cord
- One stick per player

MEASUREMENTS
Open field roughly 100-200 yards long with a goal at each end
HOW TO PLAY
1
Set a goal at each end of the field and split into two teams.
2
Use the tip of a stick to scoop, sling, and catch the joined double ball; hands may never touch it.
3
Move the double ball toward the far goal by flinging it stick-to-stick between teammates or balancing it on the stick while running.
4
Defenders use their own sticks to knock the double ball off a runner's stick or intercept it mid-air.
5
Score when the double ball reaches or strikes the opposing goal marker, then reset play at midfield.
6
Play to an agreed score, alternating which team starts with possession after each goal.
