HOW TO PLAY
1
Two or more players stand apart and throw a ball back and forth over the head of one player standing between them, the "piggy."
2
The outside players try to complete passes to each other without letting the piggy touch or catch the ball.
3
The piggy jumps and reaches to intercept or deflect the ball as it passes overhead.
4
If the piggy touches the ball, or catches it outright, they swap places with whichever player last threw it.
5
Play continues with roles rotating, keeping everyone moving between throwing and defending positions.
