    Organizational Points
    Initially, players should play individually throwing and striking the ball against the wall.  When players are able to keep the ball going then work in pairs.
  • Bouncy balls of  med. to small size
  • Pair up students, numer one and two:

    •     One get ball and cone, two find 2m space on wall 
  • Rule 1 "Ball must bounce once"
  • Rule 2 "Ball must be hit up"
  • For defined area game ball must bounce in area.
