Encourage quick movements and sudden changes of direction to catch players off guard. Players not caught should run, jump, and use zig-zag movements. Here is another game that emphasizes dribbling that is fun and challenging for players. Again, primarily, it is an individual game that could lend itself to small group cooperation if the players are ready. Players with a ball try to dribble without being tagged.
Dribblers are safe in one of the designated bases.
Only one player is allowed in a base at a time. It seems about right to have one base for every 3 players, but, this number can be adjusted either way to make the game constantly interesting.
