Circle Dodge Ball
Description
Assemble a large circle and divide participants into two groups, with one group positioned in the middle of the circle, and the other group positioned outside the circle. On the Coach's signal, participants outside the circle must roll balls underarm and attempt to strike the participants within the circle below the knee. If a participant is hit below the knee by a ball they must join the participants outside the circle. The game continues until all participants in the circle have been eliminated.
Equipment
- 9 x cones
- 10 x balls
Coaching Outcome
Participants develop their footwork, agility and vision in this fun evasion game.
Change It
- Alter the size of the circle, with a smaller circle more challenging for participants.
- On the signal, "scatter", participants in the middle of the circle must try to escape without being tagged.
Check for Understanding
- What skills can we use to avoid being hit by a ball?
- How can these skills help us when playing Rugby?
