Welcome SS
Play the Freeze game
Do warm up learnt from previous lessons
Playing with balls makes physical activity fun. Throwing, catching and kicking balls is good for muscle
development, hand-eye coordination and fitness.
The Five Phases of Throwing a Ball
1. Warm up Introducing the Biomechanics of Throwing a Ball. Anyone can throw a ball “over-hand,” but not everyone
(10 mins) can do it well. ...
Wind up (Pitching Phase One) ...
Cocking (Pitching Phase Two) ...
Acceleration (Pitching Phase Three) ...
Deceleration (Pitching Phase Four) ...
Follow-through (Pitching Phase Five)
Overhand Throw
Have the child stand straight while facing the target and holding the ball in their dominant hand
If they are throwing with their right hand, have them turn sideways to the target so their left arm/foot are in
front and right arm/foot are behind
2. Have them place their feet about shoulder-width apart
( mins) Have the child lift their left arm so it is pointing at the target they want to hit. While doing so, they should
shift their weight slightly onto their back foot.
The child then lifts their throwing hand so the ball is near their right ear
Finally, in a single motion, they should shift their weight forward, drop the pointing arm, twist their torso,
and bring their throw arm forward to release the ball.

3. Beginner’s dodge ball

This is a basic version of dodgeball that can be played by young children who are just learning to throw. To
( mins) play this game, you will need a fence or wall which is at least 3 or 4 meters wide, and a soft foam ball (large
or small).

Have one of the children stand just in front of the fence, facing away from it. The other child stands about 4
to five meters away from the fence and is given the ball. The child with the ball must throw it in an attempt

to hit the child in front of the fence. The ball can only be aimed at the legs.

The player standing in front of the fence must attempt to dodge the throw. If they succeed, they win a
point. If they fail, the other player wins a point and they swap positions. The player standing in front of the
fence can also catch the ball to win a point. The first player to 15 points wins! Because this is a beginner's
dodge ball, make sure you use a very soft ball so no one is at risk of being hurt.

Monster Ball

This is a chaotic game that is a lot of fun and gives children plenty of opportunities to practice
throwing. It is generally played on a basketball or netball court. The children are divided into
two teams. They are each given a basket of balls of different sizes and weights.

A very large “monster ball” is place in the center of the court. The goal of the game is to throw
balls at the monster ball, forcing it to move towards the other team’s side of the court. If the
ball goes out of bounds while on the other team’s side of the court, your team gets a point. The
smaller balls can be retrieved by players at any time, but players cannot block shots at the
monster ball and cannot touch the monster ball.
An underarm throw
Have the child grasp the ball in their dominant hand

4. Look at the target with both feet pointed towards it

( mins) Swing the arm holding the ball backwards like an elephant’s trunk, then as it goes forward,
release the ball. The child can also step a foot forward as they throw (the foot opposite the
throwing hand).
Remind the child to keep their eye on the target.
Underarm throwing station 1
Have the children attempt to throw their beanbag at a pylon with a ball on top. Their goal is to
knock the ball off.
Underarm throwing station 2
Have the kids try to throw their bean bag into a bucket
Underarm throwing station 3
Have the children partner up and try to successfully throw and catch the beanbag three times
in a row.
Underarm throwing station 4
Have the children attempt to throw the beanbag at a target on a wall
