Number game:

Before the game starts both teams number themselves from 1 - 5 (or more dependant on number of players).

The team in possession must then pass the ball around in a numeric order whilst trying not to lose possession

The team in possession scores a point when all players on their team have had the ball once.

Meanwhile the other team tries to intercept the ball.

Team possession - Neutral player game:

Two equal number teams and one neutral player work inside a half court area.

The neutral players is always on the side of the team in possession so effectively if your side is in possession you have an extra player.

Meanwhile the other team has to try and intercept the ball.

Cross the Border:

Teams play to bring the ball behind the line.

Players are only allowed to pass the ball - absolutely no dribbling or no running with the ball allowed.

Defenders can win the ball back by blocking their opponents or intercepting the ball.
