Players go to jail if they are tagged on the opposite side w/o a ball If player gets tagged, they go to jail. The only way out of jail is by a member of their team getting to the jail and tagging them. If player makes it to the jail without being tagged, they and their teammate gets a free walk back. Game reset when the ball makes it to the other side. Ball needs to either dribbled across the line. No just striking the ball from the box to otherside. Must be dribbled or passed to another player before crossing line.
