Bench ball

Divide players into Team 1 and Team 2 (have lots of mini games going) and place them on opposite sides of the playing area. Mark out endzones. Send 3 players from Team 1 into Team 2’s endzone and vice versa. These are the catchers, and the rest are throwers. Throwers attempt to complete passes to the catchers over the heads of the opposing team.

If a pass is completed the thrower goes to join the catcher, and the ball goes to one of the defenders.

Defenders are not allowed in their own endzone.

Keep going until everyone is in the opposing team’s endzone.

If students are struggling to catch the ball take away the opposition team and have them practice under no pressure.

Modifications

Decrease the size of the playing area and reduce the number of catchers to make the game more challenging. Add more people to the endzone or reduce the number of players on each team to make it easier.
