Activity Description: In-Coming is a fun and easy game to play with students of all ages, skill levels and abilities. Students learn tactical awareness and how to hit for control and accuracy when playing striking and fielding games. Variations of this game can incorporate catching or modifying the type of racquet. Overview: - Divide students into 4 teams
- Each group occupies a corner of the square
- Create four zones in the centre of the square, each marked with a bin of balls and a hula-hoop
- The first player runs towards his/her designated bin. As s/he collects a ball, this player steps in the hoop, and attempts to return one ball to her/his corner by hitting it with his/her hand.
- Team members field the ball and then pass it to each other before placing it in a hoop located in their corner.
- The batter then runs to the back of his/her line and tags the next player on the team to go.
- Time each team to find out how long it takes them to put all the balls in the hoop and encourage them to beat their time on consecutive trials.
Variations: - Fielders in the corner attempt to catch the ball using only pylons and can not use their hands to place the balls into the hoops
- Modify object being struck (e.g., large sponge ball, odd shaped ball, etc).
- Modify the type of racquet.
- Team may receive/catch the ball with a blanket.
- Players may use pool noodles and balloons.
- Each team may have a designated pitcher.
- Fielders must use over/ under with the ball before placing it in their home hoop.
