Ghost Busters (10 mins)
Activity #2: 10 minutes
Ghost Busters
Create and area 15mx10m with discs; have the parents run the length of the rectangle while the players line up on the perimeter with the balls; The parents are the ghosts who run through while the players are the ghost busters who try to hit them below the knee with the ball.
Once a parent is hit they are out; when only 1 or 2 parents are left begin again. Do not have parents as ghost busters as they may strike the ball too hard/high.
