Think Quick – what to look out for…

• Encourage the Smashies to make quick decisions to return the ball.

- To start off call out a specific way to get the ball to the opposite side i.e. rolling on the ground to make it easy, then move on to under arm throwing then over arm throwing.

+ Introduce a bigger ball and place in the middle of the safe zone, the teams are to try and hit the ball, so it rolls over to the oppositions side.

+ Encourage teamwork by passing the ball around a set number of times amongst your team before you can throw it to the other side
