HOW TO PLAY
1

Divide the group into two teams, each occupying one half of the court.

2

Players throw balls across the center line, trying to hit opposing players below the shoulders.

3

A player who is hit crosses over to join the opposing team's side instead of sitting out.

4

Players may catch a thrown ball to avoid being hit, but a caught ball does not send the thrower over.

5

The game ends when every player has been hit and joined the other side, and the team with more players remaining on their original side wins.
