Throwing and catching skills are an important component of many ball games and activities played by students in the lower primary school.
A student who has not mastered basic ball skills will often avoid ball games and miss out on opportunities for improving their skills. Practising ball skills gives students gain the skills and confidence they need to join their peers in playground activities rather than feeling inadequate and left out. Throwing and catching a ball develops the students’ ability to pay attention, to persevere, and to be willing to fail and try again. Throwing and catching a ball develops the students’ ability to pick up the information needed to predict and plan the trajectory (path) of the ball. Practising ball skills develops good visual attention skills and hand-eye coordination skills. Throwing is a target skill, while catching relies on the ability of the body to track and receive an object. Throwing and catching are complementary skills, but they are quite different in movement focus. So, all of this got me wondering why it is important to teach our students to throw and catch a ball. But, believe me, it’s worth giving it a go. This level of camaraderie takes time to build. What’s more, my fears about playing ball games in the classroom, things crashing and the students getting too excited dissolved. But when it did, it got a resounding cheer! It didn’t matter whether the ball went in the bucket or not. I think what I loved the most was the level of mutual trust and friendship among the students and teacher. During a maths lesson, she gave her students the chance to throw a ball into a bucket when they made a contribution to the class discussion. I never forget observing an amazing teacher using the simple idea of placing a ball and a bucket at the front of her classroom. Have you ever thought ‘Why didn’t I think of that simple idea?’ or ‘That’s awesome! I’m going to try that on Monday’.
