Tomb Raiders

The Rules

The players in tomb A pass the skull (ball) using one or two touches, depending on ability.

Two raiders from tomb B are called to come through the tunnels to steal the skull.

If successful they must dribble/run with the ball back through a tunnel into their own tomb and begin passing it with their team to keep it for as long as possible.

The team in tomb A now send through two raiders of their own – who must follow through the same tunnel that team B escaped through – to try and steal the skull back again.

At any point the coach can call for a third raider to go and help steal the skull. If the skull is knocked out of the tomb the coach can choose which team restarts with a new skull.

A point can be scored by stealing the skull, or achieving a set number of passes – say 10 – when you are in possession of it.
