Defenders try to tackle the attackers and knock their balls out of the playing area. Attackers who lose their ball become defenders. Variation: Introduce no-go areas that attackers cannot run through Defenders who win a ball become attackers Intensity: Set a [10]s time limit to reach the opposite line Have more defenders, about 1/3 or 1/4 of the total players.
