Throw & Catch Pack

Build a varied throwing and catching session with the Throw & Catch Pack. This collection combines foam sports equipment, bean bags, quoits, Aeroballs, flying discs, weighted scarves and cones, giving teachers and activity leaders several ways to introduce controlled sending and receiving. The fifty activity pieces come with a mesh drawstring bag, making the selection practical to organise for school PE, clubs and supervised group games.

Different shapes invite different actions. A scarf can be tossed and watched as it descends; a bean bag can be aimed towards a marked area; a disc can be sent across a clear space. By choosing the resource and distance, an adult can adapt the activity to the participants instead of expecting everyone to begin with the same ball or throwing technique.

The Throw & Catch Pack gives children opportunities to connect what they see with how they move. Catching involves watching an approaching object and positioning the hands, while aiming a throw asks them to judge direction and force. Repeated short attempts allow children to try a small adjustment and notice what changes. These activities can be introduced gradually, with plenty of space and clear rules about when to throw and retrieve.

For a primary school, the range supports several activity stations within one session. One group might practise a close bean-bag exchange, another could explore scarf tossing, and a third could work on an appropriate foam throwing activity. The collapsible cones help mark lanes, boundaries or waiting positions. Rotating groups allows children to experience contrasting equipment without changing the whole lesson.

Shared games also provide a reason to communicate. Partners can agree when they are ready, choose a manageable distance and encourage each other between turns. A leader can focus on controlled movement and cooperation before introducing any scoring or competition.

One pack with 50 activity pieces plus one mesh drawstring storage bag is supplied. The contents below show the individual quantities, including twelve cones. Frisbee colours vary, and a particular colour cannot be guaranteed. Select each activity according to the participants and the available indoor or outdoor space.

Throwing and Catching with Different Resources

Start with an object and distance that allow controlled attempts. Demonstrate how to send the item, where the receiver should stand and how to signal readiness. Introduce foam shots, discus, flyers and javelins only with an appropriate throwing area and a clear retrieval routine.

Activity Ideas

• Scarf catch: toss a weighted scarf gently and watch its path before catching.
• Bean-bag target: aim towards a designated area and compare near and far attempts.
• Partner exchange: begin close together and adjust the distance only when both players are ready.
• Throwing lanes: use cones to separate activity spaces and waiting areas.
• Resource comparison: describe how a disc travels differently from a bean bag.

Why Choose the Throw & Catch Pack?

The selection allows a leader to vary an activity by changing the equipment, distance or target. Clearly counted resources and an included storage bag help with preparation and checking items back in after a session. The pack can support both focused skill practice and cooperative games.

Cones mark space but do not provide a physical barrier. Dry equipment before storage and remove damaged items from use.
