🥎
Modified Softball game with three bases where six students rotate through batting, fielding, and waiting roles applying fielding techniques and tactical decisions in competitive game context
🥎
Modified softball tournament format where three teams play simultaneously on the same diamond with role rotation
🥎
Multi-station circuit focusing on advanced striking and fielding techniques under time pressure
🥎
Partner activity teaching ground ball fielding using the 'alligator' technique where mitt (top jaw) and bare hand (bottom jaw) close together to trap rolling balls
🥎
Dynamic possession game where defenders try to gain ball possession using proper technique while attackers protect using various dribbling skills
🥎
Modified softball game focusing on developing base stealing timing and tactical decision-making
🥎
Runner races around a diamond of 4 bases while fielders throw a ball around the same diamond - will the runner or the ball return to home plate first? Develops throwing accuracy, catching skills, and base running technique.
🥎
High-energy warm-up where students sprint to bases labelled with compass directions when called, developing agility, listening skills, and spatial awareness
🥎
Dynamic warm-up where students respond to compass direction calls by running to designated bases positioned as North, South, East, and West
🥎
A progressive drill developing throwing, catching, and communication skills during dynamic movement across the field
🥎
Progressive warm-up incorporating fielding-specific movements through command-based activities, building from jogging to explosive movements with fielding positions
