Gator Skin Games - Circle Ball
This game consists of tossing the ball rapidly from one player to another in no particular order. The sport comes from the unexpectedness with which the ball may be thrown across the ring or in a reverse direction, taking the players unaware.
Start with the players standing in a circle (3-5 feet apart). Start with one gator skin ball. Any player failing to catch the ball should sit down. The player that is standing the longest, is considered the winner. For additional difficulty, add a gator skin ball after every 10 consecutive catches, have players count aloud.
When all are seated the same game may be played in a sitting position, having players stand if they miss their catch. This continues the game. For very little children the spaces between players should be less and the tossing done in regular order from one player to the next working up gradually to the more varied modes of play suggested above.
