Put a ring of Orange cones around a pop up bin, 1 meter radius away. Put a ring of Yellow cones around each bin, 2 meters radius away. Get the Red As to surround the bin and make sure they stay outside the Orange cones to start. Give every child 5 tennis balls. On the whistle it's a race to see who can flick their 5 tennis balls into the bin first. Players can run and grab any ball that doesn't land in the bin but they must go back outside the orange cones before attemping to flick it in. Stop the game whenever the first person flicks their balls in and tell everyone to get their 5 balls back. Everyone stays outside where they were except for the player who won the last game, they now go outside the yellow cones and must flick their balls in from there. Repeat until all players are proficient with the Brick flick, help those most in need with their technique.
Ask them where does their writing hand go. Ask them where on the hurl are they looking to flick the tennis ball with. Make sure they are dropping the ball from their non dominant hand and not throwing it up in the air. Make sure they are holding the hurl with their dominant hand and that their non dominant foot is forward of their dominant foot.
