“Flip” (3-10 players) (two versions)
Flip is a fun game that trains hand eye coordination. You can change the game so that you either hit the ball or catch and throw the ball. Depending on which version you choose you’ll be practicing timing in hitting or quick hands when catching and passing the ball.
Essentially the game is a lot like the game you see soccer players play when they warm up for games: standing in a circle, juggling the ball with 3 touches and passing the ball in the air. But in this version we are not using our feet: we are slapping the ball with our hands.
The strategy of the game is not to hit difficult balls to the other players, as that can also give you a “strike” since the ball needs to be hit to the player. The strategy is more to “surprise” the person you decide to hit it to, by maybe making it look like you would hit it elsewhere
If the hitting-version is too complicated, you can also change the drill to simply be catching and trowing the ball. Maybe you want to introduce two balls at one point to make it extra difficult.
