Instructions

Split group into two teams, one on each side of the hall with a bench at either end.

Each team nominates a goalie who stand on the opposite sides bench.

Players are given a ball to pass around to members of their team aiming for one of them to pass it to their goalie on the opposite side of the court. Players from the opposing team must try to intercept the ball and do the same (throw the ball to their goalie).

The goalie must catch the ball for it to count. If they are successful, the player who threw the ball now becomes one and stands on the bench alongside the original goalie.

This is repeated until all members of one team are on the bench. This would be the winning team.
