Bowling Game | Sharpen Ball Control and Teamwork

Bowling Game | Sharpen Ball Control and Teamwork

Overview

  • Works for older grade-schoolers all the way up to adults
  • Perfect for groups of 9 or more, or when you’re short on practice time
  • Use it when you want to dial in ball control accuracy and team coordination at the same time

Objectives

  • Sharpen the basics of rolling the ball with control
  • Let players split up roles and feel the fun of working together to hit a shared goal
  • Build focus and precision under pressure
  • Create a sense of unity where everyone’s pushing for it through friendly competition

Setup

Split into teams of 3 and play a game where players roll the ball to knock down cones.

1)Set up a 40m x 40m space, and give each team a target of 3 cones arranged in a triangle.

2)Assign roles within each team: First Setter (places a ball), Second Setter (places a ball), and Bowler (throws the final ball).

3)The First and Second Setters roll their balls right up to the cones and rest them on top.

4)Once all three players work together to get the balls balanced on the cones, the Bowler takes one final shot to knock every cone down.

5)Teams take turns, and the team that pulls it off in the fewest attempts takes the win.
