Split groups into approx teams of 5-6. Each group standing in a line behind a Tee with 3-5 large balls (dodgeballs). 

Place two cones spaced approx 2m apart, 5m infront of Tee. This is the goal for the batters. 

Behind the goal, place a hoop and one person to collect the balls. 

Batter hits their 3-5 balls, aiming to get in between cones. Collector retrieves their balls and places them in hoop. Once the 5 balls have been hit, collector picks up 5 balls and gives them to next person in line before going to back of line. Batter moves to the collector position. 

* After a few rounds, progress to hitting tennis balls if they are confident with their technique *

Each time the ball goes inbetween the cones they get one point. Make it a competition to see who is the most accurate with their hits.

Modification:

- make it easier or harder by moving distance of goal from Tee, or making the goal bigger or smaller. 

- collector can wear a mit if desired, to practice their catching technique.
