Throwing

Description Of Activity

One player in the rst pair of throwers throws the ball to land anywhere in the court and then runs around the markers on the corners. The other team elds the ball and then attempts to tag the second of the pair who has entered the court to dodge, immediately on the throw. If the runner gets home before the dodger is tagged the throwing team scores a point, but if the dodger is tagged rst the elding team scores.

The next pair then have their turn.

Rules: 

• the dodger can dodge anywhere within the court
• the ball must be held to tag the dodger
• when in possession, a elder can move only one foot
• when not in possession, elders can move anywhere
• quick passing
• moving to cover the area
• passing ahead of the dodger
