Double Ball
Less than 10 players – 1 double ball
More than 10 players – 2 double balls
Players divide into teams separated by headband/shirt/stick
color
Players will either have a designated goal/ target to hit to
score, or assign a teammate to whom they must pass the
double ball to score.
In a passing game once a player has the double ball on their
stick no contact can be made with the players body or stick.
The player with the double ball cannot move their feet, they
can only pass the double ball to a teammate.
In a running game players with the double ball may run as
well as pass.
Contact with players body and stick may or may not be
agreed to before game.
Games can be played by position as well, with only shooters
allowed to score, and only scrappers allowed to pick up the
loose double ball.
In games with more than one double ball, either double ball
can be used by either team, or each team has their own
double ball to use. When each team has it’s own double ball,
they can either focus on scoring theirs or on keeping the
other team from scoring theirs.

Kickball Games
There are several different types of kickball games.
Footbag
Footbag is the same as hackey sack. A kick bag is tossed up
by one player, then the rest of the players must keep the
bag in the air by kicking it. Hitting with knees, chest,
shoulders and head is allowed.
The game can be played by elimination with the player who
drops the bag being out until only one player remains. It can
also be played with the winner being the player who hits the
bag the most times without it falling.
Kickball
Kickball is any version of a race in which a kickball or kick
bag is involved. The most basic version is a race to a set
marker and back to the beginning while kicking the ball. The
winner is the player who crosses the finish line with their ball
first. A more difficult version is an obstacle course race in
which the player must maneuver around the course while
kicking the ball or bag.
