Playing field: a playground, football pitch or a gym, divided into two equal sections by a centre-line and attack-lines which are parallel to the centre-line.
Objective: to eliminate all opposing players by getting them “OUT”.
Number of participants: each team may have from 6-10 players and one that is the captain of the team and is named THE MOTHER.
Game
development: The players of each team stand between the centre-line and the
attack lines on the both parts of the field. The MOTHERS stand behind the
attack lines. It is important that MOTHER
straight in front of HER has got her opponents, and her own team is
behind the centre-line.
Before starting
the game we must decide which team begins, for example by flipping a coin. The team
that gets the ball, starts the game. In order to eliminate the enemies, the
MOTHER throws the ball to her team trying at the same time to hit the players of the opposing team with
the ball. If the ball hits the player he
is out and he must leave the field ( as a rule he stands next to his team’s
mother helping her to catch the ball). If the shooting team loses the ball (which means the mother throws and the opposing team’s player catches it) they must run away in order to avoid being
hit( after interception of the ball the direction of the ball is changed , the
player who catches the ball tries as fast as possible to throw it trying to hit
the opponent). In order to get the point the ball must be thrown directly into
a player, it must not hit the ground. The players are not allowed to cross the
lines of the field during the game. Otherwise, they will be eliminated and the
opposite team will get a point. The team that will eliminate the opponents
first, wins the game.
The first
team to eliminate all opposing players is the winner!
