Manipulation activities passing and throwing KiwiSport Fundamental Skills PASSING AND THROWING The aim of KiwiSport Fundamental Skills is to develop basic sports skills through simple, enjoyable play activities. This section contains those which are pertinent to passing and throwing They are grouped for: • Exploring passing and throwing. • Passing a large ball from the spot. • Passing and moving with a large ball. • Passing a large ball with opposition. • Throwing small balls. • Underarm throw. • Overarm throw. • Overarm bowling. Activities are generally arranged from the simplest to the most complex. The activities have been selected with schools specifically in mind but an input of professional skill and judgement is needed to ensure lively and relevant programmes. Decisions will need to be made on when and how the activities are used and what modifications are needed to match age and ability. The activities also fill a need outside class programmes. They are useful for children’s learning and play at any time – lunch time, after school, sports training, holiday programmes and at home. Parents and others who play with children in informal situations should find the ideas particularly helpful. 2
