Five Hundred

You throw the ball. The kids fight to be the one to catch it. Okay, hopefully “fight” is too strong of a word, but your kids will learn skills like ‘boxing-out’ that can be used in soccer and basketball, they’ll practice their catching and throwing skills for football and baseball, and you’ll fuel a healthy level of competitive drive, all while having fun together.
