Coaching points:
1) Step forward with your opposite foot as you release the ball ie: Right and step with left foot and vice versa
2) Your release point should be high and your follow through at your target.
Game:
1) Place students in partners of equal ability. One partner starts as the Quaterback and the other as the receiver.
2) The receiver runs out to one of the levels. The nearest zone is worth one point, second zone 2, third zone 3 and fourth zone 4. After a catch or drop students grab the ball and return the ball the quaterback. They must run back and forth each time. After 2 minutes switch the Quaterback and the receiver.
3) Students keep track of their points. You can put groups up against each other, aim for a class wide score or have students try to beat their original scores.
