Ultimate Flag

Mark out endzones on the field and split the class into two teams. Players cannot run with the ball, they must pass it to get it to their endzone. Defenders take possession if the ball touches the ground or they intercept a pass. A goal is scored by passing to a teammate who is in the endzone

Modifications

For more able groups, try the Crossbar challenge. Use the football crossbar if available, or designate another target. Split the class into two groups. Give each student 3 chances to throw the ball and hit the crossbar. If they’re successful, they move to the back of the line and go again. If they aren’t successful, they’re out for the rest of the round.
