Phase: Activities

Children line up in teams of 5 or 6 and space themselves roughly half a metre apart. Each team has one ball that is being held by the person at the front of the line. When the coach says "go", the children need to pass the ball down the line. The first in line will pass the ball over their head and then the second person will pass in through their legs to the next person and so on. When the ball gets to the last person in line, every person in the line turns around and faces the opposite direction so that the child who was at the back of the line is now at the front of the line holding the ball. The team that reaches the other end of the court the fastest is the winner. Once the children have spent some time passing the ball over and under, the children now have to rotate to one side and hand the ball down the line.

 

NOTE: please note that the video does not show the recent changes made to the activity of the line turning around and facing the opposite direction once the ball has made it to the last child.
