LEAD UP GAMES

1)  PASS BALL
This activity is adapted from kickball and baseball.  One football and 4 softball bases are needed.  Students in groups of 6-8.  The students are numbered off.  The first player stands  at home plate while the rest are in the field (scattered).  The player at home begins by passing the football as far as he/she can and then proceeds to run the bases.  The fielders attempt to retrieve the ball and throw it in to home plate before the thrower reaches home. One point is awarded for each base the thrower touches, and 6 points if they reach home safely.  The runner then goes out into the field while the next number is called for their throw.  Highest individual score wins.

2)  GET OPEN
This activity is designed to teach the students how to find the open person and develop passing and receiving skills.  Two teams are set up.  The team on offence (Black) has 5  players while the team on defence (White) has only 3 players.  The object of the game is for the team on offence (Black) to pass the football to their teammates.  The student with the football can only take 2 steps after the football is caught.  They then have 5 seconds to pass the ball to another teammate who then tries to pass to a teammate in the "ENDZONE".  If the football is intercepted, then the sides switch from offence to defence, with the appropriate substitutions.  The team on offence is given 3 minutes to score as many points as possible.  Each score is woth 6 points.

3)  ULTIMATE FOOTBALL
Essentially the same rules as "Ultimate Frisbee" but with a football.
