Instructions
Step 1
The ball, in hand or with the help of throws to teammates, is moved towards the scoring area, which is located on the opponent's side. Points are earned in a variety of ways: moving the ball into the scoring area, passing it and hitting it over the bar. The team with the most points wins.
Step 2
Learn the rules of the game. The duration of the match is sixty minutes. These are four periods of fifteen minutes. The period of the game is called the “quarter”. The game will only stop if the ball has left the playing field, passed to the other team, and the pass was not caught. If suddenly at the end of the game the score remains even, additional time is assigned (fifteen minutes). The first team to score points will be declared the winner.
Step 3
The object of the game is to throw balls to the opposing team. There are seven players in the attack. They are located on the scrimmage line. At the beginning of the game, none of the attackers must move. One player is an exception. He can move along the line of attack at the time of play. The rest - just take the ball. At the moment of his loss, all players can fight for him.
Step 4
The defending people should not oppose the attacking player to receive the ball. They may not attack the passer or cross the line of attack during a rally.
Step 5
The players of the receiving team must receive and return the ball. Attacking people try to interfere with their rivals. The players of the receiving team may signal that they will not return the ball. At this point, the drawing ends. Also, the above team may not take the ball. Then it is installed in the place where it was sent from.
