5 Player Warm Up:

As Player 1 moves direction, players 2,3,4,5 shuffle around shadowing his movement. When Player 1 changes direction, the other players must do so too, staying in the box formation.

3 Grass roots

Tag:

Partners stand facing each other about arms distance apart, one of the partners is the tagger who tries to touch the partner on the back, the other tries to avoid being tagged by keeping their chest facing the tagger whilst remaining within arms reach (no running away)

Both players should be in a well balanced ready position so they can move and change direction at any time.

Throw and Catch With Legs:

Throw the ball in the air using two hands, move to where the ball is coming down, lay or sit down on the floor and catch the ball between the legs.

When you have caught the ball, throw it up in the air, get up and catch it.

VSW:READY TO CATCH

Bump:

Throw the ball in the air, let it bounce then bend your legs. Put your arms out in front and bump the ball up using mainly leg movement not arm swing.

Keep it going, changing which arm you bump the ball with (try and use good rhythm and mainly legs).
