What you’ll learn
Learn the basic rules and techniques of kin-ball.
Key learning points
- Move: striking a kin-ball with your forearm, with hands together and outstretched arms, increases power/control.
- Move: sitting on your heel whilst on 1 knee, chest and head down and palms facing up, is a solid base to hold the ball.
- Think: creating a square around the set ball limits attacking options.
- Feel: hitters should rotate so everyone feels included.
- Connect: players feel supported when teammates help them.
Words to know
- positioning
- strategic placement to cover space, anticipate plays, and support team coordination
- power
- hitting the ball with force and strategy to challenge opponents
- reacion time
- the speed at which players respond to the ball's movement, teammate actions, or opponent plays
Common mistakes
Pupils stay upright while kneeling in the tripod position, meaning the ball is too high for hitting.
It is easier to hit the kin-ball when it is lower down, so be sure to bend forward in the kneeling position.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use two hands where possible to control and send the kin-ball.
