June-Calf Touching

June 15, 2017

In this activity, pupils work in pairs facing each other with low centre of gravity (racket leg forward).

Safety is priority in this game. Emphasise in keeping safe distance between partners/pairs to avoid running into each other.

In “Calf-Touching” activity, one pupil is the “attacker”. He places ‘racket’ arm forward trying to touch their opponent’s calf. The “defender” has to react quickly and copy the “attacker’s” movements.
