1) Players must start behind the outer cone of their corner and only one of them can enter the grid at any one time. 2) This game works on a relay basis, one and only one player in the grid from each group at a time - and the next player must be touched before they enter the playing area. 3) While the balls are in the centre of the grid, one relay robber from each team can enter the grid to steal a ball from the centre of the grid and bing it back to their own box or bank. 4) If all the balls in the centre of the grid have been stolen, teams can then steal each others balls - but the same relay rules apply. 5) The winning team is the team that can get four balls in to their box. 6) You can add or remove balls to make the game harder or easier. 7) No cheating! Only one ball can be carried at a time, only one player from each team in the grid, and you cannot go until tagged.
