Divide the class into teams of 5-6.
This is a passing game where players pass the ball to reach the target i.e. a team mate standing behind a line or between two cones. The ball has to be caught cleanly by the child to count as a score.
Hand the ball to the other team:
Agreed rules:
• No running with the ball.
• No pushing.
• No pulling/dragging.
• The catcher may move up and down the line.
A score can be one or two points.
N.B. After a score or when the ball goes behind the line the ball is left on the ground and the throw-in is taken by the defending team. i.e. not the catcher on the line
After a score the scorer becomes the catcher in the end zone.
Start with no running then introduce can take 1 step then 5 then can run.
Keep teams small to encourage players to get as mant touches as possible.
