End Ball - Rules and How to Play

 This week for writing we had to write a set of instructions to play a team game. For my team game, I choose end ball. It is a game not many people know about, but it is very fun. I enjoyed getting to write about end ball. I found it challenging to find the actual rules. To be BTB (Better Than Before I could add another diagram.

End Ball

End ball is a game that includes running, throwing, and catching.

Time: About two minutes a round

Players: Two teams of about six people each

Equipment: 

Two tennis balls

Markers (Enough to make two or four lines). The markers can be cones, tyres, or anything that marks the lines

Whistle (Optional)

Rules:

No running with the ball

Every player must catch and throw the ball at some point

If someone misses or drops the ball, the last person to touch it must pick it up, go back to where they were when they touched the ball, and rethrow it

Underarm throws only

How to play/Method:

Split players into teams. If there are more than twelve players make more teams.

Before you can play the game you must set up two lines using the markers. The two lines must be facing each other. Make sure everyone knows that if you go out of the lines whilst playing you are out.

One team will go to each line. They will be given a tennis ball. Give them about one and a half minutes to plan a strategy.

When the whistle blows, or the person running the game says ‘GO!’, the game starts.

The players must work together to get the ball to the other teams starting line. They must do this and follow the four rules.

Once one team has made it to the other side they have won!

Ideas:

Play with four teams →                                                                        

Give a time limit for holding the ball eg. 3 seconds
