Thanks to a generous donation made by the Circle Rules Federation, the 6th and 8th grade were able to learn a brand new game that utilizes skills from the entire spectrum of sports. Here are some pictures and videos from the very popular Circle Rules days during select Outdoor Education classes this quarter!

Teamwork! Taping the posts together.

Hammering the goal stakes into the ground.

Instead of a coin toss, Circle Rules uses a down-up to determine ball possession. A down-up is when a player from each team races to be the first to go from a standing position into a position where both shoulders touch the ground and stand straight back up.

kickoff

During Circle Rules, you can throw the ball…

“bop” it,

kick it,

volleyball-style set it,

basketball dribble it,

even punch it!

you just can’t step into the goal circle

A “double kick” is how the ball is brought back into the game after it goes out of bounds.
