Today we are playing Limbo Catch. Your goal is to catch a volleyball while going through the limbo line.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up single file behind the short marker cone.   
• I will select two people to help be the limbo holders.
  • When I say, “GO!” I will underhand toss the volleyball to the first person in line over the limbo line.
    • After you have caught the volleyball, go underneath the limbo line with it.
• Return the volleyball to the hula-hoop and get in back of the line.
• We will begin a new game once everyone has gone through the limbo line once.

TEACHING TIPS

• If children do not catch a volleyball, have them retry or go under anyways.
• Let other students hold the limbo.

Today we are playing Landing Pad. Your goal is to try and land as many volleyballs as you can on the landing pad (parachute).

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, stand on the side of the net opposite of the parachute.
• When I say, “GO!” underhand hit (with both hands) or serve your ball (with one hand) over the net.
  • Try and aim your ball to land on the parachute.
• Coach will stand on the opposite side of the net and will retrieve your balls.
  • If someone doesn't want to play, have them help you collect balls

TEACHING TIPS

• If getting the ball over the net is too difficult, remove the net.
•  Remind children to make sure there is no one directly in front of them when they are hitting or serving.
• Consider having a stack of balls available to keep game going on.

• The Coach will decide who will serve/hit each time.

TEACHING TIPS

• Divide groups equally based on athletic ability.
  • Help a team if they are having trouble
• Adjust the height of the net that is appropriate for the children’s age group.
• Remind children they cannot push, shove or jump in front of another teammate when trying to catch the ball.
