Students form a kicking and a fielding team. The first kicker kicks the ball into the field (if ball goes wide, the kick is taken again) and the entire team runs around the field as a group to

the finishing line. The fielders gather the ball and handball it to each other. When all the fielders have touched
the ball, they call out “stop”. Each member of the kicking team who reaches the finishing line before
“stop” is called, scores one point. Each member of the kicking team has a turn at kicking before the teams swap.

CHANGE IT

1. Fielding team can run and carry the ball a maximum of five steps before releasing their handball.

2. Kicking team considers strategies that exploit the playing space
to create gaps and increase the pressure on fielding team.

Modifications

Make playing size bigger or smaller.

Special Needs Modifications
