Participants are divided into groups, placed in rows and with their legs spread. The first in line throws the ball between the legs of the other teammates to the last one, who runs to the first place and does the same. The group that reaches a certain line first will get a point. Play to ten points. Variation: it can also be thrown over the head. The more people, the more groups will compete or the longer the lines will be through which the ball will pass.
