Manipulation activities passing and throwing UNDERARM THROW ACTIVITY 220 DROPPERS BEFORE THE ACTIVITY Wall. Buckets/containers. Beanbags/small balls. DURING THE ACTIVITY • Groups of three or four with a bean bag/ball each along a line facing the wall. Bucket at the base of the wall. Players try to bounce the bean bag/ball off the wall to drop it in the container. Change places on the line or move the bucket along to try from different angles. LOOK FOR • relaxed arm swing back and forwards. • step and throw. VARIATIONS • Increase the throwing distance. • Move the bucket out from the wall. KiwiSport Fundamental Skills UNDERARM THROW ACTIVITY 221 UNDERARM GOLF BEFORE THE ACTIVITY Small balls/bean bags. Ground targets – hoops, rope circles, softball bases, sheets of cardboard. Markers as tee markers. Grass or hard area. DURING THE ACTIVITY • Targets arranged as a ‘golf’ course with ‘holes’ varying distances apart and ‘tees’ marked nearby. Players throw from the starting point until they can land the ball on the full on each target in order. Each successive throw is taken from where the previous one finished until the ‘hole’ is hit on the full. When this happens the next hole is started from the tee marker. How many throws to get around? LOOK FOR • relaxed throws. • length judgement. VARIATIONS • With a partner, see who wins each hole. • Use containers as holes with the bean bag/ball having to stay in. 26
Manipulation activities passing and throwing UNDERARM THROW ACTIVITY 222 NOUGHTS AND CROSSES BEFORE THE ACTIVITY Grids marked on hard area or wall. Two balls/bean bags per grid. Five cross markers and five nought markers. DURING THE ACTIVITY • Teams of two or three on either side of the grid or facing the wall. One is the noughts, the other the crosses. Teams throw alternately (ie. one ball from 0, then one from X), aiming to score a column, a row or a diagonal of three squares by landing the ball in the squares. When a square is hit on the full that team places one of their markers on it. LOOK FOR • step towards target. • eyes on target. • long arm swing.
