Straddle Ball

Materials: 3 Foam Balls Students will standing around a circle facing the center. Students will stand in a “straddling” position with their feet connected to the students on both sides of them. Students feet must stay connected and on the line of the circle at all times. If a student breaks either of the rules then they are out. When a student is out they will go to a designated area and complete 20 jumping jacks before they re-enter the game. The object of the game is to make the ball go between another students legs while keeping the ball from going through their own legs. When the ball goes between a student>s legs, they are out. Players are nopt allowed to sit in a squatting position. Students may block the ball with their hands. However, they are not allowed to catch or hold the ball. This activity is great for a soccer unit when practicing goalie skills.
