How to play

The players form a line at one end of the hall. The games leader/leaders stand with the ball at the other end of the hall. The game starts by one of the game leaders kicking the ball, then all of the players may move anywhere around the hall, but must remain on the floor. The leaders are to kick, throw or bowl the ball with the aim of hitting the players from the knee or below. Once a player is hit they are to sit out. The winner is the last one left in. Often players will need to be told that they have been hit as they do not tend to go voluntarily.
