OVERARM THROW<br />
ACTIVITY 229 SCATTER BALL<br />
BEFORE THE ACTIVITY<br />
Three small balls.<br />
Marker, two bases (hoops)<br />
• A fielding team spread out with a player on the retriever’s base.<br />
A throwing team behind the line.<br />
A home base on the line and a marker about 10 metres away.<br />
The first thrower throws the three balls one after the other, then runs<br />
round the marker and home base until ‘STOP’ is called. Each time round<br />
the marker is a run. Fielders return the balls to the retriever who puts<br />
them on the retriever’s base and calls out ‘STOP’ when all three balls are<br />
returned. A ball caught on the full can be carried to the retriever,<br />
otherwise they must be thrown in.<br />
LOOK FOR<br />
• finger grip.<br />
• throwing to a space.<br />
• accuracy by the fielders.<br />
VARIATIONS<br />
• Put a large semi–circle round home base. The three thrown balls must<br />
bounce in this area.<br />

OVERARM THROW<br />
ACTIVITY 230 LONG BALL<br />
BEFORE THE ACTIVITY<br />
One small ball, one short bat, six markers, team bands/bibs.<br />
DURING THE ACTIVITY<br />
A batting team lined up safely back from the base line. A fielding team scattered<br />
out in the field of play with one as pitcher.<br />
The pitcher lobs to the batter who has an attempt to hit. They then try to score<br />
a run by going to the far line and back. They may wait as long as they like<br />
behind the base line for a chance to run or behind the far line for a chance to<br />
return. The fielders try to put the other team out by hitting them with the ball<br />
while they are running. They may throw the ball to another fielder nearer the<br />
runner in an attempt to do this.<br />
The team is out if:<br />
– a runner is hit with the ball.<br />
– a hit is caught on the full.<br />
– a ball is hit over the sidelines on the full or bounces out before halfway.<br />
– a runner goes over the sidelines.<br />
