ew i ev Pr

Due to the rapid development of technology, the temptation for children to spend more time indoors being entertained by computers, video games, television, DVDs and the like, has seen a noticeable decline in the quality time spent outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, participating in some form of physical activity. Studies have shown that a more sedentary lifestyle can be a significant contributor to obesity in the younger generation, as well as an increase in illness and disease, and a general decline in social skills that are formed during play and team activities. This book was compiled to meet all of the above-mentioned needs. Included are a variety of lesson ideas that aim to provide varying forms of physical activity to increase heart rate and muscle tone. The games are devised to have the participants outside as much as possible and are primarily team based to provide opportunities for social interaction and collective decision making, as well as dependence on other members of the group.

w ww

m . u

As much as possible these games are designed to be user-friendly. They require very little preparation and equipment and aim for the total involvement of the whole group. The activities have been trialled using both single sex and mixed sex groups with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment.

of the playing area. The players cannot run with the ball but can pick it up and throw it, paddle it or dribble it up the field. They must throw, dribble or paddle the ball into the opposition’s goal circle to score a point. The game then recommences with a centre ‘bounce up’. If the ball crosses the sideline the non-offending team throws the ball in with an overhead throw.

o c . • Each team is allowed to have 1 ‘goalie’ inside theire goal circle. The che r goalie cannot catch the r ball but can onlys deflect oor paddle the ball t s r u e p out of the circle before it hits the ground. • If, at any stage, the ball becomes stationary (i.e. 2 players have a hold at the same time) then the game resumes from a ‘bounce up’ on the spot. • The use of sashes or vests to distinguish the teams is very helpful. 10

Structure: The group is divided into 4 teams of no more than 6 players. Aim of the game: The aim of the game is to stop the ball from landing in your quadrant. If the ball touches the ground then that team (group) loses a point. Each team starts the game with 5 points. When one team has lost all 5 points the game is declared over and the team with the most points is deemed the winner. • There is no limit to the number of times the ball can be struck in a quadrant before being propelled to another quadrant, but a player cannot strike the ball more than twice in succession. • All strikes of the ball must be in an upward motion. • If the ball is propelled out of the playing area by a team then they will lose a point for the offence.

Aim of the game: The game’s aim is similar to tennis in that players must hit the ball over the net using only their hands. The ball must bounce once and only once in each court before being hit. No hitting on the full is allowed. Players aim to land the ball in their opponent’s court in a position that makes it difficult to return. Scoring: Points are scored as per tennis and players take it in turns to serve a game by bouncing and hitting the ball from the baseline. • For this activity 2 or more games could be operating simultaneously on a large playing field. 12

Thomo’s Froccer Playing the Game

Aim of the game: The aim of the game is for teams to work together to pass a Frisbee® to each other without running, and ultimately trying to score a ‘try’. A try is achieved by a player catching the Frisbee® while at least one foot is within a hoop placed on the ground in the opposition’s ‘In Zone’.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u Scoring: 3S points are awarded for catching the Frisbee while standing in a hoop (1 or 2 feet), or catching the Frisbee in the air and ®

landing in the hoop. Once a ‘try’ has been scored that player can attempt a ‘conversion’. This requires a defender to stand a hoop up vertically and a soccer ball is kicked from 15 metres away. If the ball passes through the hoop an extra point is scored. The referee will carry the soccer ball throughout the game.

clearance from the thrower. There is NO OFFSIDE during the game. There is no travel rule when the Frisbee® is in the hand but players cannot run. They are allowed up to 5-6 metres to slow down after catching the Frisbee® or may dive/slide to catch it. The Frisbee® is only deemed out if it lands outside the field of play. If successfully caught then play continues. Frisbees® deemed out are thrown in from the point of exit by the opposition team, including those that go out over the ‘In Zone’. Contests for the Frisbee® in the air or on the ground are open to contact but the referee can modify the rules accordingly. Like netball, the obstruction rule applies at 2 metres and the attacker has 5 seconds to get rid of the Frisbee®. A 5-second rule applies in the ‘In Zone’ to both attack and defence.

Aim of the game: Played using the same rules as volleyball with players serving by throwing the Frisbee®. All catches must be one-handers and a 5 second time limit applies from when the Frisbee® is caught until when it is thrown. • Rotate player positions after each serving change to utilise the subs.

Skill Drills: Using a Football N.B: Teachers can substitute “pass” with “handball” if that is the more appropriate skill.

3. OFFLOAD RELAY:

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

This drill works well with teams of 6-8 players. Set out cones as shown in the diagram below. Position a player at each cone. The remaining players line up at the starting cones with the leader carrying a football.

Instructions: • On “GO”, player 1 from each team runs to player 2 and passes (or handballs) the ball.

Teac he r

Player 1 stays at the cone and player 2 runs to player 3 and passes them the ball. This continues until player 5 has the ball. He/she then sprints back to join the end of the line keeping hold of the ball. Once player 1 has passed his/her ball then player 6 moves out to pass to player 1 so that teams are attempting to have as many balls in progress as they can. The relay continues until all players are back in their original positions.

Aim of the game: The aim of the game is for a team to carry the football into the opposition’s circle without being tagged. • The ball can be passed forwards or backwards and the ball carrier can run with the ball. The ball, however, cannot be passed to a team member standing inside the circle. If a runner is tagged or the ball is dropped, then the opposition receives possession and the game continues.

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super • At a changeover, the person restarting the game cannot be tagged until they move or pass the ball. Scoring: 1 point is scored each time a ball carrier enters the opponent’s circle untouched. The game then resumes from this point with the other team starting with the ball.

team has 10 tags instead of 6 and there is no ‘play-the-ball’. Once tagged, the ball carrier need only pass the ball to another team member to continue the game. The referee will call out the number of tags each team has used up. A tag can only be made from the front or the side – not from behind. The game begins with a ‘tap-off’ from the halfway line. At this point the defending team must be 10 metres away. This 10 metre gap must be given at the beginning of each changeover in play after a try has been scored, with a restart from halfway. The attacking team aims to promote the ball as quickly and as far as possible in their 10 tag allocation. Once a player is tagged they can offload immediately, with the referee keeping count of the tags and calling them aloud. Multiple passes may be utilised in order to isolate defenders. A changeover occurs at the end of 10 tags or when the attacking team drops the ball or scores. All passes must be in a backward direction. A try is scored by placing the ball over the opposition’s tryline.

Uses the same rules as touch football except for the following: Modifications: Scoring: Scoring of points is determined by the colour sash worn: If Green scores – 1 point If Blue scores – 2 points If Red scores – 5 points • After each try is scored the red sash member on each team must swap with another colour on their team. This ensures everyone has a chance to be the red player and not just the ‘best’ player. • If an attacking player is tagged by a red defender, they are out of the game until the next try is scored, unless they are wearing the red sash for their team, i.e. a red defender cannot dismiss a red attacker. • This encourages the red defender to become more involved in order to give their team a ‘numbers’ advantage. • It also encourages greater ball movement between the attacking team so that they can avoid the red defender.

w ww

Each team has their own ball to attack with. At the start of the game both balls are placed on the halfway line and one team is chosen to begin. This team attacks using their ball while the other team defends. At the completion of 6 tags, or if the ball is dropped, the ball remains at that position and the players run back to halfway. At this time, the defending team becomes the attacking team and attacks to the opposite end of the field. For the first use of the ball, the attacking team must wait for the defending team to be in position, but for subsequent changeovers the defending team must race back to defend, as play begins as soon the attacking team reaches their ball and performs a ‘play the ball’ motion. This game, therefore, can seesaw from one end of the field to the other at a frantic pace. It is essential that each team has at least 2 substitutes to relieve tired players. After a team scores a try, both balls come back to the halfway line and the non-scoring team recommences the game.

Modifications: • Each team has a football so all players are in an ‘evasive’ mode of thought. • The ball carriers cannot be tagged, so team members under pressure of being tagged may be passed their team’s ball in order to be ‘saved’ before they are tagged. • The referee blows his/her whistle at random and the ball must immediately be passed to another team member. • A dropped ball has no penalty, only that the whole team is vulnerable until the ball is retrieved. • Players can pass their ball to a team mate even if they haven’t made a tag. 34

• The pitcher is on the same team as the batter and aims to deliver a quick accurate pass from the ground to the batter. • The batter aims to catch and quickly kick the ball into the field. • Two players from the fielding team are permitted to run at the batter once the ball has been passed by the pitcher. These players attempt to charge the ball down or put pressure on the kicker. If a ball is successfully charged down (i.e. it comes to rest behind the batting base), then the batter is out. Defenders can only charge down a ball if they are behind the charge down line when the ball is passed. • The fielding team may kick or pass (or handball) the ball back to the bases or may tag a runner with the ball while they are running. If tagged, that player is out.

All 4 teams compete at the same time using 1 football. Witches hats are used as goal posts and all goals can only be scored by ‘grubber kicks’, i.e. kicking the ball between the hats along the ground.

w ww

m . u

Scoring: Kicking between the 2 inner hats scores 6 points Kicking between an outer hat and an inner hat scores 1 point.

. te o Modifications: This game follows the same rules that apply to AFL, c . ch with regards to running with the ball, marking the ball, and when the ball is e r er o out of play. t s s r u e p Only the tackling rule is modified. A two-handed tag constitutes a ‘tackle’

and can only be awarded if the ball carrier is still holding the ball at the time. This is up to the discretion of the referee. If a tackle occurs, the tackler secures the ball for their team and begins with a free kick. • The game consists of four quarters with the teams rotating each quarter to attack a new set of goalposts. 36

Touch a hat

Modifications:

w ww

Uses the same rules as touch football except for the following:

o c . che e r o t r s super

• As each defender makes a ‘tag’, they must run and touch any of the hats positioned along the sideline before they can resume their place in the defensive line. The attacking team aims to isolate defenders while the defending team must concentrate on communication to cover for defenders who are touching a hat. • If 2 defenders tag an attacker simultaneously, the referee can instruct both of them to touch a hat, thus putting more pressure on their team members.

Skill Drills: Using a Soccer Ball 1. SOCCER GOLF: This drill requires cones (at least 8-10) and a soccer ball for each player. Use beanbags to show the position of the starting point which will act in a similar way to a golf tee. Position the cones around the field at varying distances.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

Instructions: • Explain the starting point (tee) and the numerical order of the cones, e.g. cone 1, cone 2, cone 3, cone 4, etc. • The players kick their ball (from the ‘tee’) to hit each cone in order, keeping a mental record of how many times they kick the ball. • Each kick counts as 1 stroke. • The person with the lowest score wins. • If possible, stagger the start so that no more than 3 players are shooting for the same hat at any one time.

Instructions: • On the teacher’s call e.g. “One”, players 1 and 2 kick the ball back and forth to each other. • On the call of “Three”, player 2 turns to kick with player 3. • The teacher continues to call “One” or “Three” at random. “One”

4. THROUGH THE CONES RELAY:

m . u

Set up 5 or 6 cones in a staggered formation and, using the relay format, have the players dribble the soccer ball through the cones.

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

Set up different hat formations for each team, e.g. 4 teams, 4 different formations. After each relay, the teams rotate to a new formation. This provides greater variety of movement.

Skill Drills: Using a Soccer Ball 5. GOAL SHOOT:

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

This drill requires 4 or 5 soccer balls, enough cones to mark out a goal, and a goalkeeper.

• The player at the front of the line passes the ball (1) to the teacher who deflects the ball to the right or left (2) for the player to move to the ball and shoot for goal (3).

8. SHIELD THE BALL: This drill requires one soccer ball between 2 players. One player begins with the ball and, while dribbling the ball, tries to shield it from his/her opponent who is trying to capture the ball. Roles are reversed if the defender secures the ball. This drill can be further developed by putting a third player into the game and then a fourth for a 2 on 2 scenario.

7. HIT THE CONE: For this drill you will need a soccer ball and a cone for each pair of players. The players stand behind their cones, approximately 15 metres apart, facing each other. You can increase the distance as skill levels improve. The players take it in turns to kick the ball to hit their partner’s cone. Each direct hit is worth 1 point. The first player to score 5 points is the winner. The teacher can impose restrictions as he/she sees fit, e.g. left foot kick only, stop with left foot and kick with right and so on.

m . u

9. SECURE A HOOP: For this drill you will need a soccer ball for each player and half as many hoops as players. Have the players dribble their ball around in an open area. On the call of a whistle players must attempt to dribble their ball into a hoop to secure it. Any player who does not secure a hoop is out. Continue by halving the number of hoops for each round. For a quicker game the teacher could call out a hoop colour which would eliminate more players each round and stop players staying close to a specific hoop.

. te o • Any time a ball goes out of the playing area the attacking team c . ch e always has the role of throwing in their own ball,r e.g. the red team e o st will always throw in ther redu ball the blue team will always s er pand throw in the blue ball.

• When a goal is scored the game continues with a goal kick, as the other ball is still in play. • Usually one referee will be sufficient, but if desired a referee could be allocated to each ball. 44

Structure: This game is played with 6-8 players per team and any number of subs. Aim of the game: The aim is similar to normal soccer except the ball is kept in the air by paddling, striking or hitting (but not holding). • If the ball drops to the ground or is hit to the ground, then the nonoffending team will receive a free hit from where the ball lands. • Players can contest the ball while in the air but only with on open hand. • A closed fist may be used for restarts or free hits. • Pushing or deliberate charging will result in a free hit. Scoring: A goal is scored by hitting the ball into the goal area and the game then restarts from halfway. Each team will have one designated goalie who is allowed to strike the ball with a closed fist at all times.

Uses the same rules as soccer except for the following:

. t e are curved and a goal can be scoredc o • The sidelines by kicking the . ch ball through the goalposts from either side. r e er o st su • Each team has 1 goalkeeper (goalie) who defends shots from either per Modifications:

side of the goal. The goalie can kick or throw the ball in any direction after nullifying an opposition attack.

Scoring: 1 point is scored for each goal and the game continues after a goal is scored allowing for a second goal to be scored from the other side of the goal if the goalkeeper does not react quickly enough. Therefore, there is only ever 2 starts (one for each team), at the beginning of each half. 47

GOALS

s e l u R

Outcome: Develops anticipation, vision and awareness, and enhances effective defensive skills.

m . u

This is a modified game of soccer where players on opposing teams can only defend against designated players on the other team.

w ww

Structure: Split the class into 2 even teams. One team is then divided into 2 groups, distinguished by wearing red and green sashes. The other team is divided into 2 groups wearing blue and gold sashes. The players are then allocated a colour from the opposite team, against whom they must defend. Therefore the reds from one team can only defend against the blues from the opposition and vice versa. Likewise the greens can only defend against the gold sashes. • During the course of the game, a penalty will result if a player in possession of the ball is challenged by an opposition player not wearing the correct colour. • Goalkeepers can move out to challenge any colour as they won’t be wearing a coloured sash. Goalkeepers are also free to roam over the entire field if they please.

to kick. Aim of the game: A bowler, positioned 15 metres from the wickets, bowls an underarm ball to the kicker. Once the kicker kicks the ball he/she must run through to the ‘safe line’ 30 metres away. If the kicker is hit below the shoulders by the ball before reaching the safe line he/she is out. He/she must then wait at this line until the next kicker kicks the ball and can choose whether to attempt the run.

o c . • The kicking team have any more than 3e players at the safe chcannot r er line at any one time. o t s s r u e p • Players only receive a point for their team when they reach home. • The kicking team continues until 3 members have either been bowled out or hit with the ball while running. Once 3 members are out, the teams swap roles. • No points are scored for anyone at the safe line when the third player is out. 49

1. Put the players into pairs with 1 tennis ball for each pair. Have the players in each pair stand 20 metres apart with a cone placed to mark 5 metre intervals as shown in the diagram. Player A throws the ball to player B who attempts to catch it on the full. Player B then returns the ball to player A and runs to cone 2 to receive and return a throw, then to cone 3 and cone 4. This process continues until player B has returned to his/her starting position and then player A performs the drill.

3. Using a tennis racquet and at least 10 tennis balls, have all the players in the playing area. One player is selected as ‘wicketkeeper’ and stands to the side of the ‘batter’ who is usually the teacher. The batter then hits the balls in quick succession all over the playing area, both in the air and on the ground. The fielding players must collect the balls and return them as quickly as possible to the wicketkeeper. Change the wicketkeeper and repeat.

4. Divide the class into 2 teams. Position teams 25 metres apart, with a row of cones placed 5 metres in front of each team, as shown in the diagram below. Each player has a tennis ball to begin and the aim is to knock over all of the opposition team’s cones. Players retrieve balls as quickly as possible, as play continues. Players can enter the throwing zone to collect a stationary ball only but must return to their team’s throw line before throwing the ball. The first team to knock over all opposition cones are the winners.

5. In groups of 5, position players in a square as shown in the diagram. Player A begins with a ball and throws it to player B and runs to stand at B’s cone. Player B does the same to player C, C to D and D to E. When A receives the ball he/she reverses the direction of the throw and throws it back to player D and then runs to stand at D’s cone. Each time player A receives the ball they reverse the direction of the throw.

6. Work in groups of 4, with each group having a tennis ball. Position cones as shown in the diagram below. Player A starts with the ball and runs forward on “GO”. Player A throws to player B who throws to player D on the run. Player D throws to player C and turns at the line to continue back. Player C meanwhile has thrown to player B, who throws to player D who then throws to player A. At this point the players can swap roles or player D can turn and continue the drill.

Uses the same rules as cricket except for the following: • Tennis racquets are used instead of bats and can only be used with one hand. • Bowling must be overarm and the bowlers run-up cannot exceed 10 metres. • Batters must run once any contact with the racquet is made. • Only one hand can be used to catch a batter out. • Bowlers can bowl from either end so 2 bowlers are onehanded needed at any one time. (The bowler could possibly catch substitute for the wicket keeper to speed up the game.) • Bowlers change at the teacher’s discretion. (Note: There is no set number of bowls per over.)

Structure: There are 2 teams: fielders and throwers. • One player from the throwing team takes on the role of wicket keeper, and the fielders take up positions on the field. Aim of the game: The throwing team takes turns to throw the coloured tennis ball from the ‘throwing’ hat out into the field. If the ball is caught on the full, the thrower is not out. The thrower then runs out randomly to as many hats as possible and throws the green tennis ball back to the wicket keeper who places the ball at the base of the wicket. The thrower continues to do this until the fielders return the coloured ball by running or throwing back to hit the wicket. Only then is the thrower out. Scoring: The thrower receives 1 point for each ball at the base of the wicket. • The balls are returned to the hats and the next thrower continues the game. When all throwers have had a go the teams swap roles.

Aim of the game: The aim of the game is to score a goal by throwing the tennis ball through the opposition’s goal. This is achieved by throwing the ball to a team member who attempts to catch it in the witches hat. If successful they receive a free uncontested throw. • If the ball is not caught in the hat, then the first player to pick up the ball will secure it for their team. • Players cannot run with the ball but can run to get into position to receive a throw. • The goalkeeper protects his/her goal by catching the ball in his/her hat, or blocking, but not catching, the ball with his/her free hand or any part of his/her body. • If a goal shot is blocked but not secured, then the same rule applies as in general play – the first person to pick up the ball secures it for his/her team. • The game commences and recommences after a goal is scored with a throw from the centre of the field.

Aim of the game: The batting team takes it in turn to bat and all members have a chance to bat. If players hit the ball they must run, either to the closest inner circle hat for 1 point, or to the closest outer circle hat for 5 points.

o c . che e r o t r s super

• When a batter is out – either caught or bowled – they must quickly run towards the next batter in the line who should already be running in to receive the bat, as the bowling team does not have to wait for the batter to be ready before bowling. Therefore it is quite possible for a batter to be bowled out before even facing a ball. • The fielding team can bowl, either underarm or by throwing the ball at the bin when ready. They must be standing at an outer circle hat to bowl. Anyone from the fielding team can bowl. 60

m . u

Uses the same rules as tee-ball except for the following:

w ww

Modifications: • The fielding team returns the ball as quickly as they can to the ‘pitcher’ who is standing inside a hoop in the centre of the diamond. • When the pitcher has the ball he/she calls “Stop” and the runner must be on a base or he/she is out. The runner can’t move again until the next batter has hit the ball. • Runners continue to run around the bases until all batters have had a turn and receive 1 point each time they pass home base. • Runners can double up on bases as long as each runner has some part of their body touching a base when the pitcher receives the ball. • Any runner not on a base is deemed out and therefore cannot contribute any more points to their team’s score.
