Instructions

Using half court place one team at center court, and one team at the corners of the baseline.
Each team has one ball.
Place bean bags in key circle in a pile.
On coaches comand one player from each team dribbles into the key, while still dribbling the players must bend down and pick up a bean bag each.
They must then dribble back to their team while still dribbling deposit the bean bag and give the ball to their next team member.
This process continues until all bean bags are gone, then they are able to steal bean bags from the other teams.
After two minutes the team with the most bean bags wins.
NOTE: Only one bean bag is able to be taken at a time.
