Objective:

How to play:
Spit the group into two teams. Take the garbage cans and put them at either end of the field (and put one rope around the can to make a boundary that the campers can not enter. When the leader says go they play ball.

Variations:
-The campers can only take 3 steps and then they need to pass the ball to another player
-You can do it like Ultimate Frisbee and remove the cans and have a line they need to get past
-If you have no cans you can get two chairs and put a camper on the chair and they make a hoop with their arms and that is the basket (the camper can either move their arms to help or not move and hold the arm hoop over their head the entire time)
-You can play in a pool and put lower garbage’s on the edges of the pool, or in a lake you can fill the garbage can with a little bit of water the set it in the sand, in knee deep water so the water level in the can is about the level of the water, to keep it from floating away
-In water, you can have a camper hold a ice cream pail on a chair and they have to catch the ball in the pail

Rules:
-campers can only take 3 steps then they need to pass (optional)
-If in water, keep the tackles to a save level of contact
-If with a boundary, no one can shoot from inside the bound
-1 point for every goal
