Challenges - Clap And Catch Challenge
To be able to catch an object of differing sizes whether you choose a tennis ball or a soccer ball, be creative with your object as most things will work for this challenge (tins/cans, watter bottle, apple/orange).
See how many claps you can do before you catch the ball. If you drop the ball, go back to zero. Work your way up, increasing the claps between catches everytime.
Expert option: how many claps you can do before having to catch the ball with only ONE hand!
