Flag Football has begun!

Dear Chargers,

In P.E. we have begun our flag football unit!  The students are really excited and in our first lesson we learned how to catch and throw properly.

Throwing:

• Phalanges on the laces
• Thumb underneath the ball
• Pull the ball back behind your ear and point with elbow in the direction you want the ball to go in
• Release the ball not to high and not to low while snapping the wrist
• Step with opposite foot

Catching:

• Phalanges are spread apart with palm facing their partners
• If the ball will be received above the waste then you want your thumbs touching about your forehead.  
• If the ball will be received below the waste then palms face up with pinkies touching.

King of the Hill is always a game that we can do at the end of a throwing and catching skill day, and the kids love it!!!!
