The aim of the game is to develop the scooping and carrying skills in a fun based game that involves the whole group. In designated area, split the class into 4 - 5 teams. Position each team in a corner with a coloured hoop and place all the ball s in the middle of the playing area. One at a time players run to the middle (represented by circle), scoop a ball and carry it to their teams cone. The game ends when all the balls are removed from the centre. The team with the most balls win. When picking up the ball make sure they focus on the 3 steps mentioned above. Making sure they carry the ball close to shoulder/head will help prepare them for when they go up against defence further down the line and is a good habit for them to get into from the start.
