Game
Play Skipping Rocks
Set up three flat cones, 1 meter apart and varying distance from a wall (2m, 3m, 4m)
with tennis or lacrosse balls staged on top. Place an overturned box or bucket on its
side centrally along the wall to be used as a target. Students line up to take turns
throwing and skipping each “rock” to the bucket, they must do this from a solid plank
position and move to each consecutive throw position by side shuffling in the plankmoving laterally.
Coaches may need to help with orientation to the wall prior to first throw- player should
be parallel relative to the wall, rather than perpendicular.
