Think Quick - what to look out for...

• Teams working together to problem-solve and make decisions. The need to match challenges or mix it up to meet the group and /or individual players needs.

- Bean Bags or softer / harder, smaller / larger size balls.

- The ball can be caught on the bounce (allow for one bounce / two bounces etc as necessary) as well as on the full. No throws above head-height – introducing the need for movement, creation of space.

+ Set up an exclusion zone – semi-circle (which the ball must be thrown from outside of) with targets for points scoring.

+ Each throw and catch (pass) scores a point, but these are only tallied when the End Zone catch is made. A team can attempt to build more points or move to the End Zone quickly.

+ To ensure individuals are catered for – those that are excelling can be challenged with having to complete one-handed catches.
