Arrangement of material:

• Cupboard with all the cones on it.

Game flow:

1. The players stand at a certain distance from the cabinet, and throw/strike at the cones.
   They try to throw off as many as possible in one go.
   

Remark:

• This can be done 1 by 1, but you can also have all the kids together knock the cones off.
• Can also be part of an exercise (reward).

Arrangement of the material:

• Cabinet with a basket on top and a large air ball in it.
• The children stand along the other side of the net.

Course of play:

1. The trainer stands at the net with a ball just on the net (height depends on the size of the player)
2. The player hits the ball out of the trainer's hand, aiming for the big air ball.

Making it easier = throwing.

set up of equipment:

• Goal in the middle of the field, with someone in it
• Other players on the other side of the net.

Course of play:

1. The players throw/strike the ball towards the goal and try to score in the goal.
2. The player in the goal (blue) tries to keep the balls out of the goal.

Remark:
Set the net as low as possible.

Arrangement of material:

• Mat against a wall
• Player 1 (blue) near the mat
• Other players (red), behind a certain line (depends on players)

Game flow:

1. The players behind the line throw the ball to the mat
2. Player 1 tries to keep the ball from the mat, he can do this with various movements.
   As soon as one of the players touches the mat, they may take a marker from Player 1.
   If Player 1 has no more marker disc, he loses and another player may take it. (number to choose, for example 5)
