Phase: Activities

Students will pair up and stand along a line (marked by spots if on a field or use lines on a court) one stood behind the other. Coaches and the class teacher will stand in front of the students roughly 10-20metre away (coach will stand in the corner and teacher in the middle) holding dodgeballs. Each pair will have a dodgeball, the coach will count down from 3 and once 0 is reached "fire" will be called out. The students will take aim and try and hit the dodgeballs (tomatoes) that the coaches and teacher is rolling toward them. If they manage to hit a tomato with their dodgegeball, once every student has rolled their dodgeball and the coach has blown their whistle, the player that had their turn will go to the back whilst the other student will retrieve their dodgeball and the tomato they hit. If not all tomatoes have been hit during that round, the coaches/teacher will collect them and throw again next round. The pair with the most tomatos at the end will be declared winners. 

RULES: 

- Students are to ONLY roll the ball, they must not kick it nor throw it in the air
- Everyone must share and take turns with each other
- No tomatos are to be taken if players did not hit them

PROGRESSIONS:

- Coaches/teachers can vary the type of throw used, direction thrown and speed (e.g. diagonally thrown, bouncing, fast/slow) to challenge the students. 
- Allow students to kick the dodgeball on their final attempt
- Select students to roll tomatoes to increase the number being rolled at students
- Coaches/teacher can roll/throw more than one dodgeball at a time
