I was one of the little weaklings in gym class who couldn't throw worth a crap, so I would scoot up to the "neutral zone" to grab the balls that were sitting, and pass them off to teammates who could throw. Worked well until one time when I glanced up after grabbing a ball to find one coming from the opposing side at high velocity about 6 inches from my face! LOL
Didn't feel oppressed, but it did display teamwork in action ...
