Galaxy War!

Perfect for Elementary School Gym. Coolerball & Disc Rings are the "Space Ship Energy Cores" and rest on a series of floor mats which are the "Space Ship". "Crew members" players cannot leave their mats. Each Space Ship is separated by gym floor - "Outer Space". Only players on scooters "Drones" can go on the gym floor to collect dodge-balls to bring back to the Space Ship. Players throw dodgeballs from their mats to throw through the opposing team's rings. The first team to throw through 3 rings, or to any set number, is the winner! Or just play for fun with no winners and losers; every time ta ball goes through the ring, that team has to do 5 jumping jacks! 

 

Lord of the Rings!

Teams cannot cross onto the other team's side. Lots of soft throw balls are scattered around the playspace. Each side has a Coolerball & Disc Ring inside a circle that no one can go inside. The objective is to throw balls through the opponents ring! In action, this is similar to dodgeball, except the target is a thing, rather than a person. Players can block balls flying toward their ring! Play to points or time! 

 

Jurassic Ball!

Play with a lowered 2-4 foot Coolerball & Disc Ring and soft playballs a plethora of "Dinosaurs" which the kids play as! T-rex cannot use his hands, feet only.

Velociraptor can only use his hands, but cannot throw, and can only hand off the playballs!

Undercover Ball!

One player on each team is secretly assigned by the referee as "Undercover" and actually plays for the OPPOSITE team that he / she wears a jersey for!
