3rd-5th Grades. Striking Skills

This is typically when we would be starting striking games such as speedminton (like Badminton) or baseball type games.
The secret to your success is:
     1. Be patient with yourself
     2. Practice, practice, practice
     3. Keep your eye on the object to are hitting
     4. Have fun !!


If you don't have tennis rackets you can use anything strong enough to hit a small ball or balloon.
 ( frisbees, plastic plates, foldable laundry baskets)
If it is baseball you wish and don't have a bat a pool noodle works.  Hold the noodle with your dominate hand ( the one you hand a pencil in) on top of the other, toward the bottom of the noodle.
Golf is also a striking activity!!
