Hockey Chess

Each team has a set amount of ‘moves’ linked to the total number of players in each team (6 each team = 6 ‘moves’). The players choose how many people are going to play in the game for that turn (turn is over when the ball goes out, a goal is scored or time is up. The coach rolls a ball into the field of play, says ‘go’ and the chosen players run around the high cone before joining the game. Team 1 could put in 4 players and team 2 could put in 6 players. After that team 1 and 2 can no longer use players who’ve already ‘moved’. In this example, team 1 would have two players left, team 2 would have none. Once all the moves have been used by both teams (e.g. 6) then you can start again
