4. Bearwalk: on your hands and feet to the other side
5. Monkey walk: let your hands + arms hang down, almost to the ground (like a monkey) and so to the other side.
6. Peacock: stepping, quietly, every time bringing leg/knees up until they form a right angle with the upper body.
7. Kangaroo: same as peacock, but faster/more like skipping.

Variation:

1. Instead of doing it as a relay/race, the players can also walk around and on a certain signal perform the movement that belongs to a certain animal.
2. You can do the exercises on a whole field or on half a field.

Formation: circle/rectangle (on half a field)

1. Dribble with right hand
2. Dribble with left hand
3. Alternate dribbling
4. While dribbling, try to kneel down (knee by knee) --> sitting --> lying down

In pairs throwing the ball over in combination with body balance.

• Stand on 1 leg (solo exercise)
  • Throwing with 2 hands
  • Throwing with 1 hand

=> after each throw of the ball tap the ground (= bend forward + arms stretched = so tap the ground) + every 5 balls change legs per exercise

• Now throw the ball over with 2
  • With 2 hands: pass from the neck via a bounce to the other
  • With 1 hand: throw hard & tight.
  • With other hand: throw hard & tight.

=> After action: each person has 2 jars + 1 tennis ball. When they have thrown the ball to the opponent, he/she moves the tennis ball from one pot to the other.

Per 2, each has a letter A or B. We walk through each other and on the signal A goes B tapping or vice versa, the trainer decides.
