Equipment needed:
1 Dodgeball & 1 clapper pad per line
Instructors needed:
1 per line
Description:
Students will work on their BALANCE by holding their chamber up high and bouncing a ball on each side of the leg while kicking in between.
Teaching SKILLZ: EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
If the student puts their foot down, then the student has five squat jumps.
Brain SKILLZ: VISUAL PROCESSING
The students must be able to bounce the ball in- between kicks. This works on their ability to participate in visual activities, as they must spot the moving ball and catch it despite being on one leg.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2 – Setting up the Drill
For each line have on instructor holding a clapper pad for front kicks
Give the first student in each line a ball
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
When the instructor says go you will chamber your front kick
Then bounce the ball on one side of your chamber and catch it again.
After you catch it, kick the pad 1 time without putting your foot down.
Repeat this bouncing on the other side of your chamber and follow up with a kick.
Your goal is to get 5 bounces without putting your foot down.
Step 4 – Takeaways
Make sure your balance leg is strong
If you start to lose your BALANCE, bend your knee.
