How to play

Two even teams are required. Teams compete by passing a ball around so that is can be thrown against an end wall or basketball backboard and caught by a team mate. When passing the ball players are not allowed to run with the ball. No contact is allowed by opposition players but all players are free to move anywhere in the court area. The rebound must be caught by a team mate and be thrown from within the attacking half of the court. Game is started by a jump ball. When a goal is scored the ball is taken to the centre line and game is restarted by the team that was scored against.
