Throwing Accuracy
Throw with Accuracy
Children should learn how to throw a dodgeball powerfully with accuracy using some simple target games
Activity 1:
Circle Dodgeball
10 mins
Method:
Mark out a circle in the middle of the area approximately 6 metres diameter
Choose 1 player to start in the middle of the circle
Everyone else is outside of the circle
Give out dodgeballs (optional how many) to the players outside the circle
Players on the outside have to throw the ball (from outside the circle) at the player in the middle and try to hit them.
If you are the first player to hit the player in the middle, you swap with them.
The new player in the middle has 3 seconds to get ready and then go again.
The player in the middle will change very frequently and you have to keep a close eye on who has hit them to get the correct person in the middle
This is a great game to play with a new group to help you learn names!
this game can transfer well to other sports such as cricket and football. you could make the middle circle a bit bigger and give the player in the middle a Cricket bat to protect themselves. Or the player in the middle could have a football and the players on the outside are trying to hit the ball instead of the person...
