Underarm rolling
Fielding
Perception skills

Think Quick - what to look out for...

• Encourage Smashies to say “BOUNCE” when the ball bounces and “HIT” when it hits the bat.

• Encourage Smashies to think where the ball is travelling to and move to hit it successfully.

• Encourage Smashies to think about a long elephant trunk motion to help with underarm bowling.

- Begin with rolling the ball along the ground, then progress to underarm throws, overarm throws and then finally bowling. Use a larger ball to make it easier.

- Move the cone forward or backward to increase or decrease the distance between the bowler and the batter.

+ Decrease the size of the castle, making the target smaller.
