THE RULES

WHEN SOMEONE IS OUT!!!

a) If a live ball is thrown and hits a player and bounces off a wall, the ground, the ceiling, another object, or another person you are OUT!!!

b) When a live ball hits two players, the first person to get hit is out, but the second person is not out.

c) If at anytime a live ball hits the ground it is considered a dead ball. So if the ball hits the ground first before hitting a player they are NOT out.

d) If at any time a body part touches the ground past the middle line you are out. However, if there is a ball that is reachable you are allowed to get it as long as you don’t touch the ground.

BALL CAUGHT

a) When a person catches a live ball thrown at them, someone from their team may re-enter.

b) If a live ball hits one player and falls into the hands of another you are safe, that does not constitute as an out for anyone. Everyone, including the player who threw the ball, is safe.

a) You may use a ball to block other balls being thrown at you. However, if at any time a thrown ball knocks the ball you are holding out of your hands, you are out.
