• Top Hand Slides Down ½ Way
• Stick Head to Your Ear
• Opposite Foot to Target
• Bottom Hand Points to Target
• Rotate and Snap Top to Target

Activity Set-up and Procedure Equipment:

• 1 lacrosse stick per student
• 1 ball per student
• 1 hoop per student
• Duct tape
• 4 cones

Set-up:

• Tape hoops to the wall as targets. Arrange hoops with enough space in between them to create safe areas for throwing and catching off of the wall.
• Pair students, each student with a stick and ball.
• Assign each pair to a hoop.
• Create a large jogging loop using the cones. Place it far enough away from the wall targets so that rebounding balls will not hit or be stepped on by joggers.

  Activity Procedures:

• Today’s activity is called Target Practice.
• The objective of today’s activity is to score points for you and your partner by throwing lacrosse balls into the hoop target. Each time you throw a ball into the hoop you will get a point.
• When you hear the start signal, the first person from each group will begin throwing the ball to the target. Score and count 1 point each time the ball hits inside the hoop. Your partner will jog the loop while cradling a ball.
• As soon as the jogging partner returns to the hoop, switch roles so that 1 partner is throwing and the other is jogging.
