The game strategy of placing an object to where the opponent is NOT can also be emphasized in this game, as well as the skill of catching.
Students have to have been taught basics about the proper overhand throw and catching.
Then place an empty basket at the far end, in the middle of each playing area. Explain to students that they are to throw the yarn balls across the net to the other side as well as catch any balls that are being tossed to them. If they catch the ball in the air, they should place it in the basket on their side. If it ball drops to the floor without being caught, it can be picked up and thrown back to the other side. Let students know they can catch balls off the walls.
