Cherry Bombe : If you can dodge a wrench...

10
mins

Objective
Skaters will learn to react quickly and be agile on skates.
Activity

Make groups of 3-10 skaters, and give each group 1-2 dodgeballs (or other soft objects).

Mark out a medium-sized square/circle on the floor with the cones. Each skater is going to stand in the middle of this square for 60 seconds (or until they get hit out) while the other skaters try to throw the ball at them. The skater's job is to dodge, duck, and avoid the ball, making this an excellent practice in balance, agility, and reaction time.

If you want to make it competitive, time all of the skaters while they are in the middle to see who can avoid being hit by the ball the longest.

Alternatively, have two groups compete with each other by assigning one group as ball-throwers, and the other group as "inside the circle", where they all have a go at being inside the circle. Time for both teams how long it takes until they've all been hit!

To challenge your skaters, shrink the size of the square.
