What you’ll learn
Effectively responding to dynamic situations in game play.
Key learning points
- Move: extension of the elbows and fingers when pushing the kin-ball generates more power, accuracy and control.
- Move: staying on the balls of the feet, knees bent and weight slightly forward, improves agility and stopping quickly.
- Think: reacting to sudden changes in play requires quick thinking.
- Feel: being patient and supportive enables others to learn new skills in a safe environment.
- Connect: planning and reviewing tactics together allows all players to feel involved.
Words to know
- reaction time
- the speed at which players respond to the ball's movement, teammate actions, or opponent plays
- ready position
- the stance and posture of the body to react quickly and effectively to incoming hits
- support

Common mistakes
The kin-ball is light as it is full of air and travels slowly so it doesn't require much strength.
When the kin-ball is dropping to the floor, trying to stop it with outstretched arms takes significant effort and core strength.
For parents, carers and teachers
- New player’s to kin-ball may find it helpful to take some time to get used to the ball's size, shape and weight.
