WARM UP-
- Collect a ball or beanbag. Practise all the different way of throwing and clapping.
- Ball scramble: Put 10-20 ball/socks you can find into a hoop/circle. Each player has a hoop/circle 10-15 steps away from the balls. Players have 1 minute to run and collect one ball/sock from the hoop and take it back to their hoop and go again until all the ball/socks have been collated.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT-
- If you have someone to work with collect a small or medium sized ball.
- “A” rolls the ball to “B” who picks it up and throws it back.
(Six turns and change over). Pick the ball up and throw back as quickly as possible.
- Same practice but can you throw overarm?
- “A” rolls the ball slightly to one side of “B” so she/he has to move to pick it up and throw back (Six times and change).
- Throw continuously to one side of each other so your partner has to move to catch the ball.
GAME ACTIVITY-
- Sequence passing: make a group 3-4 (Each player has a number)
- Number 1 passes to number 2
- Number 2 passes to number 3
- Number 3 passes to number 4
- Number 4 passes to number 1 etc.
- If you can not make a small group practise throwing and catching. Can you make up your own game? What are the rules?
- Play the game standing still to establish who is throwing to whom.
- Same game but everybody keeps jogging.
- Same game but everyone keeps moving until they receive the ball, then they must remain stationary.
- Same game but kick pass. (The size of area might have to be made slightly larger).
- Put away the equipment.
CONCLUDING ACTIVITY-
- Collect a small ball each and practise continuous bouncing.
