Herder ball is a ball game for two competing teams. The objective is to score by moving a large ball into the opponent's goal without directly touching it.

Equipment

  • one large, lightweight ball
  • multiple smaller balls (e.g., tennis balls)
  • two goals or similar markers

Rules

  1. Players must not touch the large ball
  2. The large ball can only be moved by shooting smaller balls at it
  3. Any player who touches the large ball is out of the game

Variations

Teams can be divided into two roles:

  • Shooters: remain in place and shoot small balls at the large ball
  • Collectors: move freely, gather small balls and pass them to shooters
