Ball Dodge Relay

Setup and Equipment:

• Ten - Fifteen soft balls for for the sideline teams.
• One relay item for each team to carry (stuffed animal)

• Two color teams line up in relay team order at one end of the gym.
• The other two color teams spread out on the side lines.
• The relay begins and one runner on each of these two teams attempts to run to the opposite end of the gym (touch the wall) and return to their team.
• The sideline teams attempt to roll balls and tag below the knees of the runners.
• If a runner is tagged, they immediately kneel down and raise their relay item (stuffed animal) above their head.
• The next runner will run down to their teammate, retrieve their item and attempt to run it back to their line. The "tagged" runner returns to the line and may not be tagged. (Runners not carrying an item may not be tagged).
• All rolls must be from behind the sideline.
• Relay continues for two - five minutes. Laps may be counted.
• When play stops, the sideline teams switch places with the relay teams.
