Setup:
Spread mats across a playing field.
Designate a starting point for the throwers.
Assign one or more players as defenders tasked with preventing the balls from landing on the mats.
Gameplay:
Players take turns quickly throwing the ball from the starting point, aiming to land it on one of the mats.
After throwing, they must retrieve their ball and dribble it back to the starting point before their next turn.
Defenders try to intercept or block the balls to prevent them from hitting the mats.
Make it More Challenging:
Use jump shots for throwing the ball.
Increase the size of the playing field to make throws longer and defenders run more.
Assign point values to mats based on their distance:
Mats farther away are worth more points.
Players aim for high-value mats to maximize their score.
