Easy Adaptation
Equipment modification Ideas
- Lighter, softer ball – slows game and allows more time to prepare and execute skill.
- Shorter, lighter striking implement – allows greater control for weaker and less skilled players
Skill-level modification Ideas
- Substitute wheeling for running; rolling a ball for throwing, striking a soccer ball with a floor hockey stick rather than foot
- Simplify tasks
Rule modification Ideas
- Don’t allow a direct challenge when the ball comes within two metres of a player
- Allow a different scoring system to award points for specific behaviours
- Allow an unlimited number of contacts with the ball before crossing net or centre line
- Allow an unequal number on teams
- Increase the number of trials allowed
Distance / Space modification Ideas
- Use a smaller playing area
- Lower or reposition the target
- Reposition the start or finish line
