Game Description:
A competitive challenge to see who can catch/throw the ball the furthest.

Make accurate throws/catches within a partner group.
Game Rules:
Partners start on lines, facing each other, approximately 10' apart. Players throw to each other. Every time the make a catch, they move back one giant step. The pair that gets the farthest apart and is able to catch the ball gets the BIG FOOT award (wins)!
