Organisation

This game can be played with a various number of players. Cones are used to mark an adequate sized playing area according to the number of players and the abilities of the team. Two teams try to possess the ball with the help of the neutral players, who are placed outside, on the short lines of the area as shown. Their positions are changed periodically.
If we have impaired number of players, we can use a neutral player inside as well.

Description and Graphics

Teams in the area try to keep possession with the help of the neutral players. There are two neutral players on both sides. One of them holds a ball, the other one stands without it. They have special roles, since the players in possession can only pass the ball to the neutral player without the ball. When it's performed, the possessor team gets the other ball from the same sided neutral player, so the ball is changed. When the defending team wins the ball they try to keep possession the same way. Positions and roles are changed after every repetition.
