HOW TO PLAY
1
Players gather in an open field with no fixed goals or strict boundary lines.
2
One player kicks the ball high into the air toward the group, aiming for a high, looping trajectory.
3
Other players compete to leap and catch the ball at its highest point, using jumps off the ground or off another player's back for extra height.
4
The player who makes the best catch earns the right to be the next kicker, sending the ball skyward again.
5
Play continues informally with kickers and jumpers rotating, often for as long as the group wishes to keep playing.
