Cognitive Rondo: Ball Toss

.
 
Players:
12 players
 
Playing Area:

10x10 yards

 
Key Points and Objectives:

This game is the same as fundamental rondo but with a change.  Start with one soccer ball or tennis ball that a selected player will hold in their hands.  The player must toss the ball to another player while rondo is being played to another player.  The ball is continuously tossed (underhand) as long rondo is being played.  The players are now forced to concentrate on two separate tasks at the same time.  They must be aware of two tasks, the ball being tossed and the rondo being played.  Players are forced to process information non-stop in cognitive rondo.  The game can be played 10v2 to start with one ball being tossed.  Once the players become better at the game add another ball to be tossed and caught. In the diagram the yellow circles represent the balls to be tossed.
