Squirrels and Nuts
Split Players into 2 teams
The object of the game is to bring as many balls from the center area back into either of your teams areas. You may also dribble balls from the opposing teams areas back across the center line and into your teams areas. Players can defend and attempt to steal balls dribbled by the opposing team up until the center line. Players can not be challenged for a ball in their own half.
Play 3-5 min rounds depending on player numbers.
The team with the most balls in their areas at the end of the time is the winner.
