Rules:

3 players on a team (3v 3) Squads of 3-6 players

Plays must be either on the SEND register or be disengaged with sport or have low self-esteem / emotional or behavioural needs. 

A game lasts for  3 / 4 ‘ends’ depending on time

All players are seated when playing and must remain in the throwing box during the match. Each player in the team has 2 throwing balls.

 

Before the start of a game a coin is tossed and the winners decide which colour balls they want to play with.

The team who start with the red balls, start with the jack in the first ‘end’

 

The jack can be thrown anywhere over the line.

The same person who threw the jack then throws their teams first coloured ball, aiming to get as near to the jack as possible.

 

After the first of the red teams players have thrown their first red ball, the first players chosen from the blue team then throws as near to the jack as possible.

 

You can knock your opponents balls out of the way, knock your own balls closer or knock the jack closer to your coloured balls.

 

The game continues with the team who are not closest to the jack.

The team continues throwing until that team are now closest to the jack or have run out of balls.

Play then switches to the other team and so on.

Play continues until all balls have been thrown.

The end if scored by awarding one point for every ball of the same colour that is close to the jack than the nearest opposing ball.
