Lesson Summary
Learn the basic rules and techniques of kin-ball.
Key Notes
- Move: striking a kin-ball with your forearm, with hands together and outstretched arms, increases power/control.
- Move: sitting on your heel whilst on 1 knee, chest and head down and palms facing up, is a solid base to hold the ball.

- Feel: hitters should rotate so everyone feels included.
- Connect: players feel supported when teammates help them.
Vocabulary To Learn
- positioning: strategic placement to cover space, anticipate plays, and support team coordination
- power: hitting the ball with force and strategy to challenge opponents
- reacion time: the speed at which players respond to the ball's movement, teammate actions, or opponent plays
