Game: Leg Ball                                          Type: Pursuit & Evade

Cycle: III                                                  Activity Level: hi

Tactics: Move quickly                                Equipment: 5 big soft balls


QEP: COMPETENCY II, Attacking a moving target, feinting, escaping.

 

Description:

Layer 1: Use the softest balls as possible (e.g.: beach balls). The students are all on their own (no teams) and try to touch the other students with the ball. To throw the ball, you have to be facing backwards and throw it between our legs. Once you get touched you are “out”. You go to the side line and do 10 jumping jacks to go back into the game.

 

MODIFICATIONS:

Other movements can be done to get back into the game: push-ups, sit-ups, etc. There can also be a “dead zone” where the people that are eliminated go to. When there are 5 people in the zone, they are all allowed back into the game.

You can also play a three minute eliminator.

 

SAFETY:

Remind the students to keep their head up, scanning. To be eliminated a student must be touched under the shoulders with the ball. Remind the students not to throw too high (aim the legs).
