HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark a scoring line at each end of the field, one for each team to defend and one to attack.

2

One player starts with the greased coconut cradled against their body while opponents try to wrestle it free using only their hands and body, no striking.

3

Ball carriers may run, dodge, or hand off to teammates, but must keep control of the slippery coconut at all times.

4

A team scores by carrying the coconut fully across the opposing team's line without dropping it.

5

Play resets after every score, and the team with the most successful crossings when time runs out wins.
