Robbers

Solo and shield inside the square, robbers hunt, banks in the cornersRRCorner banks hold the balls

Setup: 25×25m square. Every player a ball except three robbers in bibs. Four cone banks (small squares) in the corners.

How it works: Players solo around the square guarding their ball. Robbers try to knock a carried ball loose or steal a loose one — any ball a robber wins gets carried to a corner bank. Robbed players sprint to any bank, take a ball back and rejoin. Swap the robbers every 90 seconds. Last minute: every player finishes with five toe-taps and five quick fists into the ball to get hands and feet talking.

What to say

  • Keep your body between the robber and the ball.
  • Head up — see the robbers coming early.
  • Lost it? Sprint, reload, straight back in.

Easier

Two robbers; robbers may only walk.

Harder

Four robbers; carriers must keep soloing, no tucking it away.
