o Seated (or Jumping Jack) players can be freed by catching their team’s ball tossed to them by a teammate inside their team’s hoop.
o If a player catches a thrown ball, the thrower must be seated (or do Jumping Jacks) where the ball was caught.
o Players inside their hoop cannot be targeted, but can only remain in their hoop for a maximum of 10 seconds within which they must have thrown their ball.
· To get their team’s ball back to a hoop, the ball can be tossed or run back to a hoop.
· The game is over when all members of one team are seated (or doing jumping jacks).
