Bronze Challenge
Can you score 5 points in a row without the defender stepping on your toes?
Silver Challenge
Gold Challenge
Can you score 10 points in a row without the defender stepping on your toes?
Coaching Points
When you are catching the ball, make sure you have your hands out in front of you and you already have your knees bent so that you are ready to jump up into the air as soon as the ball is thrown. Timing is key to this activity so concentrate as you have two tasks to complete in a very short space of time; jumping and catching.

Coaching Points
Stand up tall throughout the movement and lift your knees up to 90 degrees. Lift the opposite arm to the raised leg. Make sure you have enough space to place your second foot down in between the cones by placing the first foot as far into the space as you can. Once you have the technique mastered, pump the arms and legs as quickly as you can.
