RETRIEVE

Aim of the Game: To earn the most points by bringing the ball back to your side the most times. This goal number can range from 5 to 25 depending on time.

Rules:

1. Wrestlers are divided into two groups and are numbered in pairs. There will be corresponding partners from opposite teams who will compete against one another. So make pairs of the same size and ability

2. Each team is placed at opposite edges of the mat

3. A medicine ball is rolled down the center of the mat; when a number is called the two corresponding students crawl out on their hands and knees and try to retrieve the ball and bring it back to their own side.

Note: we use the same rules that apply in wrestling and in the class

Progressions:

1. Change teams (this allows to make better match ups, and increase affective learning)

2. Use a different object, such as a swiss ball, a tennis ball, wrestling dummy, ect... (anything that is safe for the students to use)

3. Call out multiple numbers at a time
