2 on 2 Square Ball


2 on  2 Square Ball

State Standard: 1, 2, & 3

Equipment: Squares large enough for 4 people to move safely in, 1 nerf ball per group of 4 (I use 4 square courts) Grade: 4+
Purpose of Event: Movement in Personal space, Teamwork, passing, catching
Time: 15-20 minutes
Description: 

Have 4 students practice running without a ball in each square while avoiding each other. Partner up players in each square and add a ball. Each set of partners moves about in their square attempting to complete 5 consecutive passes between each other. If 5 passes are completed, they score 1 points and the other team gets the ball. If the ball is dropped, intercepted or 5 passes completed, the ball goes to the other team. After one team has made 3 points, move to another square (Or after 2 minutes). Continue to switch groups and partners.

Concerns: Need to be able to move safely in personal space. Use a soft ball (koosh ball works well).
This idea is from: WOW Workshop
