Plastic Cup Long Jump!

  • You will need some plastic cups (20 plus) or something similar e.g. tins of food or bottles.

  • Ensure you have enough space to line up cups side by side in a line, as you increase through your competition.

  • Start with one cup. Using the technique of the long jump: run up, take off your strongest leg, clear the cup and land on two feet in the motorbike landing position. When you clear one, more onto two cups, then three etc.

  • How many cups can you jump over?

Foot Golf!

  • Use 5 objects and place them around your house or outdoor area. These will be your ‘holes’ in your foot golf course.

  • Place your ball at a starting line 10 (or more) steps away from your ‘hole’.

  • Kick towards the ‘hole’. If you hit the target on the first kick, you get a ‘hole in one’! IF you didn’t hit the target, wait until the object stops moving. Then take your second kick from where the ball stops. Continue until you hit the target.

  • Write down the number of kicks it takes you to hit the target.

  • Move onto the next ‘hole’ and repeat. Add up your score for all the holes.

Classic Catches!

  • Find a ball to use and stand in the middle of an open space.

  • Practice some of these classic catches challenges!

o Throw the ball up and then perform one of these tricks before you catch - touch your knees or toes, clap, do a star jump (or 5!), squat, jump and turn

o Underarm throw a ball at a wall and catch it off the bounce – throw harder and on angles to make the catches more difficult!

o Do you have a family member who can underarm throw the ball to you to the side, up high or down low?
