Phase: Warm Up

Students will each have a tennis ball and perform different ball skills within a defined area. These are skills such as; bouncing the ball, throwing and catching, abc (air, bounce, catch), round the back, between the legs, bounce and clap, kids choice.

Modifications

Ask kids which ball skills they would like to perform.

Special Needs Modifications

Use an orange circle tennis ball as they will bounce slower. The use of a balloon can also be good for hitting up in the air as it is slow moving.
