Tactical Focus:
Attack Goal

	Each group is placed into a corner of the playing surface. This will be that teams home corner.
	Each team must strategically place 3 bowling pins upright inside their given hoola hoop.
	Each team starts off with a total of 2 gator skin balls, but after the game starts, they may use any of the balls that come to them. (Total of 8 balls in the game).
	Teams must travel into opposing teams' corners (whichever corners they choose), and attempt to knock over other teams' bowling pins.
	Balls may be thrown at Bowling pins from any distance, but to advance the ball to an optimal striking position, players must move to open space and receive passes to advance themselves.
	Running with the ball is not permitted. Only passing can advance your striking position.
	if a ball is intercepted by an opposing team or if the pass is dropped, possession of the ball is awarded to the team who's corner the ball lies in.
	Once a team's bowling pins are all knocked over, they may rejoin the game by retrieving any ball and passing it over/under or side/side throughout the entire team.
	Bowling poins are then re-set and the game continues.

	Advance the ball by using different skills (e.g., kicking, using a hockey stick, etc).
	Introduce dribbling the ball and allow unlimited steps as long as player is dribbling.

	How did you advance the ball up the court in order to create a scoring opportunity?
	Using short passes allows teams to work the ball up the court more effectively.
	Communicate with your teamates as to where you can be found to receive another pass.

	Playing area can be downsized to simplify the task.
	More bowling pins can be added to extend the task, as well as putting a limit on the number of passes before a shot can be taken.
	Increase or decrease the size of the target in the hoop (e.g., small cones or big cones to replace bowling pins)
