Movement skills/concepts

Throwing at a moving target.

Set-up

  • Small balls, large ball (Swiss ball).
  • Four teams of approximately four–five players each: each team stands on one side of a large market square in a hard flat area, with three or four small balls per team and a large ball in the center of the square.

Activity

Each team throws balls at the large ball and attempts to drive it over another team’s line. Throwers must keep behind their line when throwing. They may go into the square to retrieve a ball.

Can you see …?

  • pointing at the target with the non-throwing hand
  • full arm action
  • following through

You could ask …

What kind of throw will you use to hit the ball?

How will you work as a team to move the ball across an opponent’s goal line? What strategies will you put in place to defend your goal line?

Variations

Change set-up: Instead of a square, play with two teams behind parallel lines.
