  • Two teams of 6 or thereabouts. Make a rectange 30m long x 20m wide for each group, everyone must remain inside this area at all times. Have 2m wide goals at either end and assign goalkeepers.
  • Give one team possession and call 'go'. The team must use BOUNCE handballs - handballs which hit the ground - to progress towards their goal. No kicking allowed. The defending side can block and tap arms to effect a turnover, but not tackle.
  • If the balls falls loose, either team can win back control and become attackers.
    If a scrimmage occurs, give possession to the side who were previously defending.
  • To score a goal, players must handball through the goals, below the knees of the keeper who can keep it out with hands or feet.
    Play to a set score. This can be adjusted depending on scoring progress.
