Description
A fun, competitive game that builds throwing accuracy and catching under pressure. Football Tennis keeps players engaged, encourages communication, and mirrors the real-game skill of tracking throws from unexpected angles.
Instructions
- Set up a cone line or low rope across a small area (the 'net').
- Divide players into two teams of 2-3 on each side.
- Teams take turns throwing the ball over the net.
- The receiving team must catch it before it hits the ground.
- If it hits the ground, the throwing team scores a point.
- First team to 7 wins.
Points to Stress
- Throw with accuracy — a bad throw that can't be caught doesn't count.
- Call your name when you have the catch — communicate.
- Track the ball from the moment it leaves the thrower's hand.
- Catch with your hands, not your body.
