COCO: Understanding This Indian Sport

CoCo: Look below at the previous post for a pic of the game in progress.
This Indian Sport is very popular among Indian girls at school and in playfields. Well, it does not need any equipment except two post. Great sport for the poor man. Anyway, it is very physical and takes a lot of stamina.
I did this post up because many of you getting kid letters will see that the girls have written COCO is their favorite game...
Teams: 2
Players in each Team: 9 ( but you can adapt it to any size)
Equipment: 2 posts.

The Game:

1. First the catching team will sit 8 players each taking a knee between the 2 posts. One player facing one side the other player kneeling looking the other side.
2. There will be one player who is the catcher.
3. The other team is the running team. They will introduce 3 players at a time into the play area. The catcher will try to catch them. The runners will run between the seated players and the posts. The catcher must be a team player and tag the seated player best possible to catch the runner durin the game.
4. When the catcher tags her teammate she yells co. I wonder if this was supposed to be go. Maybe the game is supposed to be called go go???
5. The team that catches the other team in the lowest possible time wins.
