How to Play Triball

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Find a big area and gather the following: 1 medium sized (football like) ball (The Main)

   One tennis ball in a tied sock or equivalent to (The Sly) also you must have, 3 hoops and 6-10 people to play with.
   
   Also an extra person to be a referee/sly holder,as this job is essential!
2. 2

   Step 2: 2 deflated footballs or soft foam dodge balls (The Offenders).

   The round ends once a runner has scored with the main.
   
   This means that if someone scores with the sly.
   
   The round has not yet ended. , The main is placed in the centre hoop and the offenders around 10 meters (don't be exact!) from the centre on each side.
   
   Also set out some goal lines around a meter or two from the goal hoops. ,,, Variants are acceptable (e.g. 3 a-side triball) , The catchers job is to focus on the sly ball (explained later) and the runners job is to focus on the main. , This will score that team five points, which means it would take 30 goals to win the game this way. ,, The sly enters the field every five rounds, until that round both catchers are runners. , Once it is picked up NO ONE CAN TACKLE ANOTHER CATCHER OTHER THEN THE OPPOSING CATCHER.
   
   Each catcher can use an offender ball to make the other one drop the sly, they can also tackle each other. , If you are issued a foul then it is a free throw to the opposing team. ,, If someone IS NOT holding the main, you can only push them, but when someone IS you can do full tackle rules. , It is a free throw from behind the goal line. ,,
