Movement Prep
Play Thruster Ball with dodgeballs
A traditional game of catch that has kids starting about 3 meters apart. Players perform a thruster for each throw. Begin with light dodgeballs, older players may be challenged with light soft style 4-6# med balls. Ball is thrown in a high arcing pattern – mimicking straight bar path- at the top of each thruster.
Modifications can be timing an alternating floppy while partner throws, for advanced players.
