Catch and Step

Activities

With a partner start facing each other about two steps apart.

Pass the ball to your partner if they catch it they can take a step back. Your partner then passes it back if you catch it you get to take a step back. If the ball is dropped the person who drops it takes a step forward.

Progression:

- Can use bounce pass, chest pass or overhead pass.

- Make it a reflex challenge by one partner facing backward. The thrower yells "turn", in which their partner turns and must catch it. The catcher doesn't know if it's going to be a bounce, chest or overhead pass so must react quickly. This is more appropriate for older students to avoid injury by getting hit with the ball. 

Modifications

Use smaller balls for smaller kids
