The number of players can range 10 to as many as 25. Divide the players into two equal groups. The throwing team, using soft playground balls or sponge-type balls, is stationed in two parallel lines about 30 to 50 feet apart depending on their ages. The other team is challenged to run between the two parallel lines while the throwing team attempts to hit them with the ball. Pick some suitable number of runs, say five round trips, and then have the two teams change positions.
Teams can each take two or three turns running the gauntlet.
Count one point for each runner hit with the ball. Should a runner catch the ball, a point is awarded to the running team. Play the best of three sets. Decide which rule you wish to observe. When a player hits an opponent legally with the ball, the throwing team is awarded one point.
