DESCRIPTION

SET-UP:
Mark out one or more courses of 'Islands' using chalk, string, mats, hoops or other suitable markers. Split the group into several teams and send each team to an 'Island'. Give one ball to each member of the group.

ACTIVITY:
Players in each team take it in turn to try and toss the ball so that it lands on, or finishes on an 'Island'. When successful, the team moves to that Island. The first team to get to the end wins.

COACHING POINTS
