The game:
Divide the group up into two teams and then place a chair (or bench) at each end of your playing area. One person should stand on the chair opposite their team ready to catch the ball – they act as the net or basket.
Play starts when the referee throws the ball onto the court. Both teams have to pass the ball down the court and try to get it into the hands of their team-mate on the chair. No-one is allowed to run with the ball so passing and teamwork is essential. Like basketball or netball, chairball is a non-contact sport so no-one should be grabbing or pushing.
If the team-member on the chair catches the ball, they get a point for their team and then swap with another member. This way the team rotates around and everyone should get a go on the chair. The game ends either after a certain period of time, or when a team reaches a pre-set number of goals (e.g. Ten).
