• A team score a goal when they succeed in passing the quoit to one of their catchers.
• The quoit is passed by throwing from one team member to another. Once in possession, players may not move from their position.

Activity 7 - Hoopy Loopy

Aim: To develop teamwork through a game.

Instructions:
• Divide the group into teams.
• Get each team to stand on either side of the net.
• The game is normally played in a badminton court.
• The team takes it in turns to throw the quoit over the net.
• The opposition must then catch the quoit and throw it back over.
• If the quoit lands in a space or is dropped, then the nearest or last player to touch the quoit is out.
• When a player is out they must line up at the side of the court.
• If the quoit lands outside of the court without touching the opposition then the thrower is out.
• A player can be redeemed (it is always the player who has been out the longest) by a member of your team catching the quoit cleanly using one hand, through the centre of the quoit. Hence it ends up as a bracelet around the player’s wrist.
• If this is done the opposition thrower will also be out.
• The game is won when there are no players left on the opposition team.

Tips / Advice:
Try playing with two quoits.
