Warm-up

Its a Simple Game, Really

TED RICHARDS

Take a ball. Move it, bounce it, run with it, keep it in the air.

Just dont use your hands.

Such a simple idea. But a surprisingly fun amusement.

Now add nine of your friends. Pass the ball back and forth. Try to control it within an enclosed area. Try to get it into a net eight yards wide by eight feet high.

Just do it without your hands.

Still simple; and a great way to pal around with your buds.

Now add ten other people, but still use just one ball. This other ten, they will try to pass the ball; they will try to get it into their own net. All the while trying everything they can to keep you and your friends from passing the ball, from getting the ball into your net.
