-Equipment List:
-
Throwing object (ball, pool noodle, bean bag...).
-
Scoring pieces (bean bags, popsicle sticks...)
-Equipment Link:
-Setting Up:
-
Partners stand opposite each other at pre-set lines that are a distance that is difficult (but not impossible) to succeed at. Could have different distances or objects that people can challenge themselves at (A distant group, B distant group, C distant group....).
-
Players at one side hold the throwing object.
-
Partners stand opposite at the other line.
-
Place scoring pieces in the middle
-Instructions:
-
On the signal to begin, the player holding the throwing object attempts to throw the object to their partner who attempts to catch the object behind their line.
-
If successful or not, players run to switch positions, and the player who attempted to catch the object is now the thrower....
-
If successful, the player who caught the object runs and picks up a scoring piece of equipment.
-
Once all the scoring objects have been collected, or after a preset time, pairs of players count their scoring pieces to determine winners for the different groups.
-
Variations: Specify a specific throwing technique (underhand, overland, bounce pass, volleyball set...).
-Questions & Notes:
-
What techniques of body position and mechanics make it easier to successfully throw further and catch successfully?
