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 plank- moving laterally.
Coaches may need to help with orientation to the wall prior to first throw- player should be parallel relative to the wall.
