Dodgers and Runners

Class are divided into two even teams, known as the fielders and the dodgers/runners. The dodgers/runners line up in pairs on the baseline outside of the playing area, while the fielders spread out within the playing area. First pair of dodgers and runners have a soft volleyball which the dodger throws into the playing area. The thrown ball must land or bounce inside the playing area. Once the ball has been thrown the runner attempts to run around the playing area which has been marked by four corner cones. As the runner attempts to run around the playing area , the dodger enters the playing area and tries to dodge the ball which is thrown by the fielders. Fielders must attempt to hit the dodger below the shoulder, however they cannot run with the ball. The runner must attempt to get all the way around the area before the dodger has been hit by the fielders ball. If the runner gets home, fielders stop, if the dodger gets hit the runner stops. Each pair of dodgers and runners get a turn to either dodge or run and then the fielders have a turn.
