Target Throwing

What are we doing?  

How many times can you throw a ball at a target on the wall and hit the target out of 15 throws.

Where should we do it?  

Outdoors near a hard surface (I.e., a brick wall, or tree). Be aware of your surroundings and make sure there are no windows nearby or something you can break.  

What do we need?  

• You will need a hard surface
• Tape/chalk to create your target and mark your distances
• Measuring tape
• Appropriate footwear
• A small ball that can fit in your hand (I.e., a baseball, softball, tennis ball, racquetball, etc.) If you do not have a ball at home, you can roll a pair of socks together in the shape of a ball. 

How should we set-up?  

Mark a target on the wall that is 3X3 feet with the tape or chalk where someone’s glove would be if they were standing there.  

Using your measuring tape, place a piece of tape 10 feet from the target. (3 Big steps), place a piece of tape 15 feet from the target (5 big steps), and place a piece of tape 20 feet from the target (6 big steps). 

How do we do it?  

1. Starting at the 10 foot mark, throw 5 balls and score a point for each throw that hits your target. 
2. Move to the 15 foot mark, throw 5 balls and score a point for each throw that hits your target. 
3. Move to the 20 foot mark, throw 5 balls and score a point for each throw that hits your target. 
4. Keep track of how many times you hit the target. One correct hit, equals one point.
