Backyard Activities: Crisscross Catch

Players should divide up into two teams. Form a square with each corner 15 steps apart. Each team has half its players line up at opposite corners (kitty-corner from each other).


Each team has a Zoam® Football and takes turns being the "target" and the "deflector." The target team goes first. A target player tries to throw their football to a teammate standing at the opposite corner. The deflector team attempts to throw its football and knock the target ball down, but can still score points if a deflector teammate catches the ball.

After every two throws, teammates rotate in line, and teams switch target and deflector roles. First to 21 points wins.

Target Team Scoring:
  • 2 points for catching ball
  • 5 points for catching ball after it was hit
  • Deflector Team Scoring:
  • 2 points for hitting target ball so its not caught
  • 1 point for missing ball but catching deflector ball
