Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
- 1-2 balls per outer player
- Cones for setting up the circle
Setup
- Area: 15-yard diameter circle marked with cones
- Group: 1 red player (thrower) starting on the edge of the circle
- Neutral: 1 black dodger positioned in the centre of the circle
- Equipment: cones marking the circumference of the 15-yard diameter circle, 1 ball held by the red thrower
Instructions
- Players on the outer circle throw balls underhand aiming at the dodgers.
- Dodgers use agility to evade being hit by the balls.
- If hit, players swap positions with the thrower.
- The goal is to avoid being touched by the ball as long as possible while the throwers aim to tag them.
Coaching Points
- Encourage quick direction changes and sharp pivots by dodgers.
- Promote teamwork and communication among throwers for effective targeting.
- Ensure dodgers maintain a low center of gravity for better balance.
- Foster a fun and competitive environment for skill improvement.
Variations
Make it harder:
1. Increase the speed at which balls are thrown by outer players.
2. Reduce the circle's diameter for a more challenging space.
3. Create designated zones where dodgers are not allowed to step.
Make it easier:
1. Allow dodgers to use their hands to deflect balls.
2. Expand the circle's diameter, increasing distance from throwers.
3. Reduce the number of active balls in play.
