Football Tennis

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

1. Set up a cone line or low rope across a small area (the 'net').
2. Divide players into two teams of 2-3 on each side.
3. Teams take turns throwing the ball over the net.
4. The receiving team must catch it before it hits the ground.
5. If it hits the ground, the throwing team scores a point.
6. 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.
