Shooting
Shooting means aiming a ball (or other object like a bean bag) at or into a target.
Game Time
Catching
Catching is one of the sports skills for which you will find some of the greatest variations. Catching requires balance and coordination which are often overlooked.
Passing
Passing, along with catching, should be one of the first sports skills learned. There are a range of passes that are used in most games, using one or both hands.
Changing Direction
Most games involve dodging, weaving, zig zagging, turning and pivoting so wheeling skills need to progress to the next level in order to participate fully.
Wheeling Backward
Start (Ready) Position
-
Head up and eyes forward
- Need to know where you are going at all times and where others are as well
Wheeling Forward
Pushing the chair in a straight line forwards is the first thing anyone needs to know when they get in a wheelchair. The challenge early on is to move both arms in sync and to use long strokes.
Wheeling
Movement skills are fundamental to all other skills so it is important that proper push mechanics are developed from the outset.
