PREPARE
Avoid the Bomb – Within a 10-meter x 10-meter space, using 1 hula hoop or large bucket and 1 Gator Skin ball per child. Each player takes a turn being the catcher and uses the hula hoop (carried horizontally) or bucket to “avoid the bombs.” “Bombs” are Gator Skin balls thrown by all other players in the field toward the catcher. Bomb throwers should be scattered around the playing field to keep the catcher constantly moving. Players rotate being catcher every 45 seconds to 1 minute on trainer/teacher cue.
GET READY
1:00 threaded shoulder stretch on the floor each side
1:00 cross-body arm stretch
PRACTICE
MOVEMENT PRACTICE
Demonstrate and review a cross-body plank pass (from a plank position child reaches with one arm underneath and across the midline to move a light object or dumbbell to the opposite side of the torso, switching hands to move back, etc. Plank must be maintained, and goal is not to lose solid plank position.) Have kids practice; use plank progressions (one knee down for a few seconds at a time as needed) rather than allow twisting or loss of plank.
