Here's a game that will improve your students' throwing, catching and blocking skills.
Organization
Space four cones across each end of the playing area, top each cone with a whiffle ball and place three sponge balls on the center line. Form two equal teams and place each team at the opposite end of the play area.
Play
The teams attempt to be the first to knock the other team's whiffle balls off the cones. When the signal “Go” is given, players run to the center line and grab a sponge ball. Without crossing the line they try to hit opposing players below the waist and/or knock their whiffle balls off the cones.
