Set up

Everyone stands with a ball, two big steps apart.

How it works

Tap the top of the ball with each foot. Count down from twenty out loud.

  • Keep the ball still.

Scoring: At zero, hands on head.

Say this

"Light taps""Chest up""Keep counting"

Too easy?

Start from thirty, eyes up.

Too hard?

Start from ten.

Organising it

2 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 14 groups of 1. With 20 kids: 20 groups of 1. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? Fewer balls → share one between two, count in turns.
