2-4 participants (catchers) are in the centre of the playing field in a rectangle marked with lines or cones. The remaining participants try to pass the ball from one side of the playing field to the other (with their hand, foot or playing equipment) or without carrying any aids, whereby they must pass through the catchers' rectangle. The catchers try to play the ball away from the other participants as they cross the rectangle or, in the variant without carrying the ball, to touch the other participants. No balls may be caught/touched outside the rectangle. Anyone who loses/touches the ball must perform an additional exercise outside the playing area until the end of the game (e.g. forearm support or sitting on the wall). Which participant can keep their ball until the end or is not caught until the end?
Variant:
If a participant loses their ball or it is caught, they also become the catcher afterwards.
