Movement skills/concepts
Bouncing and striking a ball with a bat/racquet while running.
Set-up
- A hard area with a start line, a return line about 3 metres away and a marker 10 metres away.
- Racquets/bats, small balls, markers/cones.
- Each group of four children stands one behind the other, with a racquet/bat each and a ball for the group, behind a start line.
Activity
From the start line, the first player runs and bounce dribbles the ball around the marker and back to the return line. They then stop and bounce hit the ball to the next player in line.
Now each group changes position. Two players stand at each end, with a ball and a neutral space between. The front player at each end bounce dribbles to the neutral space, stops, hits the ball across to the other player, then bounce dribbles back to the waiting player.
- eyes on the ball
- swinging with the whole arm
- wrist up
Variations
Vary action: Bounce the ball on the racquet instead of dribbling.
Vary hit: Designate backhand or forehand.
Vary the type of implement/object: Use a shuttlecock, a table tennis bat and ball, or a hockey stick and ball.
