MEASUREMENTS

Court about 40m x 20m with a basket-topped post roughly 3.5m high at each end

HOW TO PLAY
1

Form two teams of four men and four women, each split into an attacking half and a defending half of the court.

2

Attackers try to score by tossing the ball into the open-topped basket at their end.

3

Defenders may only guard a player of the same gender, and never block a shot from very close range.

4

Players cannot dribble the ball or take more than a step or two while holding it.

5

After a set number of goals, swap the attacking and defending zones so both halves of each team get a turn scoring.

6

Count one point per successful basket; the team with more points when time expires wins.
