Establish two goal lines, 40 ft. apart.
Divide the players into two teams and have
them sit on the goal lines facing each other with their arms extended backward to
support their bodies from the floor.
Place a balloon on the floor midway between the goals.
On signal, have both teams move toward the ball,
keeping the crab position described,
and attempt to kick the ball over the opposing goal.
They may kick it with one foot or
drop to a sitting position and use both feet.
Players must not stand up and run or move
in any other position than the one described.
They are not to touch the ball with their
hands. Teams should keep some players back to defend their goal and send others forward
to drive the ball over their opponent's goal.
When the ball goes out of bounds, it is
put
in play by the referee at the point it went out. Touching the ball with the hand, leaving
the crab position, and unnecessary roughness in kicking, striking, or shoving an opponent
are fouls The penalty is a free kick for the other side where the foul occurred.
Have all
opposing players 6 ft. away at the time of the free kick. Score 1 point each time a team
kicks the ball over the goal.
The first to score 10 points wins
