SPACE HUNTERS

Students continually move around in the nominated area hunting for space.

The space will come and go as the group moves, the hunt is continuous.

Start with walking and gradually increase the tempo.

The idea is never to contact another person - if you are truly looking for space contact will never happen.

On a whistle or call the group will freeze and outstretch their arms to check if they have their own space.

Encourage students to move through the middle of the space for extra challenge.

The idea is not to touch or bump anyone and have the group evenly distributed in the space when the freeze command is given.

EQUIPMENT: Nil.

AREA REQUIRED: Varies between full/half/third/quarter of a netball court.
