Planet Saver (15 mins)

Organization:

2. 12 players set up as shown

3. 12 balls

Story/Description:

1. Each planet saver (players) passes the planet (ball) to the coach who then throws it into space

2. The planet saver then has to chase the planet before it is lost in outer space forever (goes outside the area)

3. Each time the coach tells the planet savers how to save the planet and bring it back using a different part of their body, feet only, no hands or feet, head only (be creative)

Coaching Points:

2. Keep your head up just in case the coach moves!
