Description:

Teaching SKILLZ: EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
If the student is able to hit the correct balls out of the air every time, then the instructor will do five pushups
Brain SKILLZ: SPEED OF PROCESSING
The student must be able to hear the instructor call out a color, see the correct ball and punch it in the air. This challenges the student’s ability to make the correct choices quickly.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
Have 1 instructor per line holding 2 different color dodgeballs
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
The first student in each line will go to a guarding stance.
The instructor will then gently toss the two balls into the air.
He/she will then call one of the colors.
The student must quickly punch and hit ONLY that color dodgeball.
Do this 3 times and then go to the end of your line.
