What's up PE Nation!

Today I share how we run Striker Ball for K-5 and why it fits so well as a follow-up to Foursquare and Gaga Ball. I break down the setup, the rules that keep it safe and fair, and the simple ways we teach kids to settle disputes fast. 

• why Striker Ball works as a progression from Foursquare and Gaga Ball 
• simple setup using medium cones and court circles 
• objective of scoring through cone goals while defending your own 
• ball height rule to keep strikes low and controlled 
• rotations for K to 1 to keep play simple 
• numbered positions and serving rotation for grades 2 to 5 
• “no neighbor outs” rule to prevent cheap scores and teach awareness 
• dispute process using group voting or replaying the point 

Take care,

Dave
