How it plays
- One beach, no net, and a ball painted in the colour and face of the player whose turn it is. Run with the stick and jump with the pad. When the ball is yours, get under it and hit it up: the touch hands it to the next player.
- Nobody ever leaves the sand. Every time the ball has been round everyone it shrinks and the air gets heavier, until it is a pea nobody can read. The most touches wins.
Rules
- How it runs. One rally, no clock. The ball wears the colour and face of its owner, and a ring on the sand marks them too.
- Scoring. A touch by the owner hands the ball to the next player in seat order. A ball on the sand is punted straight back up as if the player before had hit it again; poking a ball that is not yours costs you the same as dropping one.
- Winning. Every lap of the circle the ball shrinks a step and the air gets heavier. When the smallest ball of all reaches the sand the rally is over and the most touches wins.
