Anything out is a point for the other player. If that size court is too difficult then reduce the distance between courts and/or increase the size of the courts that players are standing in. The game could be played indoors or outdoors (using outdoor birds). A fun twist to badminton that focuses on clears or at least longer shots. I have described it with using badminton equipment but you could purchase the official Speedminton equipment off their website (which also has rules, pictures) which is located at: http://www.speedmintonusa.com/ www.ciraontario.com 3 Slamball By: John Byl Here is a game played like volleyball but over a net (or rope) about waist high. Regular rules apply but the ball is caught each time and the ball is passed from player to player to player, with the third player bouncing (slamming) the ball on her own side of the net and having it bounce over into her opponent's side of the court (could even use badminton courts and play four to a side). If children are more advanced have the slammer spike the ball onto her side of the court so that it goes over the net. Gives children an idea of the game of volleyball without the passing skills. www.ciraontario.com 4 Bounce Ball Volleyball By: John Byl Played with similar set up as with volleyball except that no player can be in front of the attack line. The ball is thrown from player to player (maximum two throws) before the third player throws the ball under the net so that the ball bounces in between the attack lines. If the ball lands on the court the attacking team scores a point. If the attacking team drops the ball, or does not bounce the ball into the other team's court the defensive team scores a point and has service. A serve is given from the attack line by the middle front player. www.ciraontario.com 5 Volley Basketball By: John Byl This game is played like regular basketball but a volleyball is used instead of a basketball. Points are scored by volleying the ball and points are given as follows: 1 point for hitting the backboard 2 points for hitting the rim 3 points for going into the basket Teams have five players per side but when an offensive team crosses center, only three defensive players can cross with them (in the offensive end there will then be five offensive players and three defensive players). To score one player must toss the ball to another offensive player who then volleys the ball in an attempt to score. Like in regular basketball, once points have been made the scored against team gets to toss the ball in from behind the end line and play continues with basketball rules with the exception of 3 defensive players on the offensive end and scoring by setting the volleyball. www.ciraontario.com 6 Volleyball Warm Up By: John Byl Someone suggested this game as a volleyball warm up. It is a dodgeball type game and uses humans as targets so some of you may not be inclined to it--but it does get people jumping, running, and warmed up. Two teams are on either side of the volleyball net. Each side starts with two gator skin balls. Players have five seconds to hold onto the ball and may run with it and jump. The objective is for players to try and hit a player on the other team--best strategy is to run to the net, jump, and throw the ball at someone--no passing the ball to teammates. If a player gets hit he goes to the back of the other team's court. If a player behind the court retrieves a ball that goes out of the court in the back, he may throw it at a player from the other team. If a player is hit she goes to the back of the other team's court and the player that threw the ball gets to go back onto his court. You can add more fun to the game by making a rule that if a player catches the ball the thrower goes to the back of their opponent's court--as if the thrower was hit. www.ciraontario.com 7 Teaching Volleyball to 60 students By: Tom Adams I get gym mats and use them as nets. Then every mat is placed around the gym in a circle. Then kids play individually or in your case (probably pairs). They play against each other for 2 minutes and then rotate clockwise. Here is an example: x x x x x x x x x x x x x/x x/x x/x x/x x/x x/x x x x x x x x x x x x x They get to practice their skills and have fun at the same time. www.ciraontario.com 8 Blind Volleyball By: John Byl Put up a volleyball net at about 1-2 metres high and drape a couple parachutes or tarps over the net so that each side cannot see the ball coming from the other side. Use a beach ball and have all players sit on scooters. www.ciraontario.com 9 Volleyball Service Game-Dead Fish By: John Byl Two teams practice their serves from their side of the net. If a player misses a serve that player finds a spot on the other side of the net and lays down (pick a spot that is easy for your team to hit you). A player must lay in a stationary position on the floor. If that person is hit by a server from his team then he gets to go back to his side of the court and practice serving again. If there are too many dead fish give one team a point and start the game over again. Once kids are introduced to this game they'll want to play it every day. www.ciraontario.com 10 Pool Noodle Volleyball By: John Byl I've been thinking more about Andy's request for games with pool noodles and thought we could also play a game of volleyball with pool noodles and a bunch of balloons. The objective is to not let any balloons land on your side of the net. Start with 5-10 balloons aside. Players may only hit the balloons with the pool noodle. Once a balloon hits the ground, is hit by another part of a person, or is hit out-of-bounds (regular volleyball court--or could shorten the back line to the attack line) that balloon is pulled from the balloons being hit and counts as a point for the other team. Play for a few minutes and see who has the highest score. Throw the balloons back in and away we go again. www.ciraontario.com 11 Are you Coming out Sir? By: John Byl Pat Doyle came out the other day and taught us the wall ball game, "Are you coming out sir?" It is in the Active Playgrounds resource. I tried a variation on it and had students dribbling a ball going in, while at the wall, and while leaving. Chaotic fun. I have not tried it yet, but I wondered if people could turn a skipping rope while bouncing a basketball, and then have the jumper in the middle also bouncing a basketball. Got to try it. www.ciraontario.com 12 Basketball Shooting: Hoops Three By: Andy Raithby Object: The first team to three points wins. Number of Players: This is another mass game that can accommodate as many players as there is room or hoops in your gym. How to Play: This game has quickly become one of the most popular shooting games played at many schools. As a modified game of “21”, it’s easy to play and you can have an unlimited number of players. Everyone gets a partner and partners sit down in a line in the middle of the gym or along one wall. Sitting down the middle, away from the hoops, gives all the players a good view of the baskets and they do not interfere with the shooters. The leader sends four players, two teams of two, to every basket. One player from each team plays a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS), to determine who starts. The winner shoots for their team from the foul line. If they make a basket, their partner shoots again from the foul line. The pattern continues until one team gets three points. Each basket is worth one point. If the first player misses her shot, one of her opponents quickly gets the rebound and shoots from there. If it goes in, the scorer’s partner shoots from the foul line (the same as “21”). Two things to remember. Players must always shoot alternately and each basket is worth one point.
