Game Overview

Sneak is an exhilarating team game where two teams compete to steal and possess the largest number of balls from the opposing team. Players must utilize strategy, teamwork, and agility to outmaneuver their opponents and secure victory. With a combination of offense and defense, Sneak promises excitement and engagement for players of all ages.

Game Objective

The objective of Sneak is for each team to steal balls from the opposing team’s “Ball Zone” and place them in their own hula hoop. Players must navigate the field, evade opponents, and defend their territory to gain the advantage and secure victory.

Game Setup

1. Dividing into Teams: First, divide the participants into two teams of equal size.
2. Setting up the Field: Next, mark the playing area with 14 traffic cones to delineate the boundaries and create designated zones. Each half of the field should contain a “Ball Zone” with 5 balls and a “Waiting Area.”
3. Distributing Equipment: Finally, place 5 balls in each team’s “Ball Zone” and position a hula hoop in each team’s territory as a goal for storing stolen balls.

Gameplay Rules

1. Starting the Game: Begin with both teams positioned in their respective halves of the field.
2. Stealing Balls: Players must enter the opposing team’s half of the field to steal balls from their “Ball Zone.” After retrieving a ball, they can throw it to teammates on their own side of the field.
3. Tagging and Waiting Zones: If an opposing player tags a player on their half of the field, the tagged player must move to the opponent’s “Waiting Area.” They can only return to their own half if a teammate tags them.
4. Defending Zones: Players can defend both their “Ball Zone” and “Waiting Zone” but must stay at least 3 feet away from the edge of these zones.
5. Safe Zone: If a player enters the opposing team’s “Ball Zone” without being tagged, they can place one foot inside the hula hoop to be considered safe.
6. Returning Balls: If a player tags an opponent with a ball or intercepts a ball while defending their zone, they must return it to their “Ball Zone” immediately.
7. Game End: Continue the game until one team possesses 9 out of the 10 balls, or a team no longer has enough players free of the “Waiting Zone” to continue playing.
