TEACHING TIPS
If a camper does not want to play the game, consider designating him/her as the ball master, where he/she can rescue the balls that go out-of-bounds.
Remind campers to make sure there is no one directly in front of them when they are throwing.
Remind campers about honesty and sportsmanship during counting and camp overall
