Equipment
- 1 ball per group
- Marker cones
- 1 glove per player (optional)
How-To
- Divide your players into groups of 5; each player stands at a marker cone placed in lines 8 metres apart.
- The player at the end marker for each group starts by throwing a ball up the line so each team member catches and then throws to the next player, finally reaching the other end.
- Once the end player catches the ball, they run down the line to the front marker and each team member moves down 1 position.
- This activity ends when the player who started the activity is back at their original position.
Change It...

Easier
- Larger balls, shorter distance
Harder
- Smaller balls, use gloves, increase the distance; timed activity
Question
