• Objective

  Objective is to transfer all 5 balls from the opposing teams 'Bank' to yours to win.

• Directions

  1. Players get a ball into their bank by stealing it from the box, dribbling it back to their side, and placing it in their bank.

  2. Players can not use their hands.

  3. Players can only steal one ball at a time

  4. Players can not stay in the bank with the balls.

  5. Players can only be tagged if they have a ball.

  6. Players can only be tagged when they have a ball or once they are on the other team's half of the field.

  7. If tagged players are sent to the island and can be released if one of their teammates high-five them without being tagged.

  8. Team with the most balls in the 'Bank' by the end of the set time limit is the winner.

• Variations

  • If this game is too challengeing try: Keep your backyard clean

  • Pugg goals can be placed in the Bank to contain the balls and help from rolling out of the box.

• Coaching Points
