Instructions

Introduction
‘Captain Ball’ is a team ball game played by Girl Guide organisations. It is played in two teams with six or more players on each.

Instructions
Find full instructions/rules overleaf.

Do not let the number of ‘rules’ confuse or put you off. Use them as instructions/guidelines and introduce them in stages to the Guides. This is a very popular game in the Guide Units that play it and Guides usually say it is one of the best activities they take part in.

To get started:
 Mark hall as per diagram given.
 Make up two teams of 7 Guides, trying to keep them balanced with age, height etc. If you have more than 14 or less than 21, Guides can move on and off to give everyone a turn.

If you have difficulty understanding the game and would like to try it, ask your Support Network on OGM for help. IGG can arrange trainings on this as required. Captain Ball is very popular in some Regions and games between Units are arranged.
