THROWING AND CATCHING SKILLS CHALLENGES

Throw and catch a ball underhand with a partner.

Throwing & catching skills are a MUST for your PE lessons, kids need as much fundamental gross-motor movement experience as possible in order to develop their abilities. This post covers the basics you need to know as a teacher, to help your class with their:

Underarm throwing
Overarm throwing
Chest passing
Individual throwing & catching skills

When teaching the child ball skills it is important to start at a level that the child can achieve and then slowly increase the level of difficulty, so that the child is stretched slightly each time, but does not lose self-confidence. Give lots and lots of praise and encouragement.
