ClassicCoat Bounce Coated-Foam Ball

Containing high-density foam, these 7" dia balls are 50% heavier than our coated-foam dodgeballs, making them perfect for dribbling, bouncing, and kicking! High-quality foam is protected by a premium coating that will not peel, crack, or absorb moisture.

15 Fundamental Movement Skill Activities Using the ClassicCoat Bounce Coated-Foam Ball

The ClassicCoat Bounce Coated-Foam Ball features a high-bounce design and a premium coating that adds durability, grip, and safety. Unlike standard foam balls, this ball offers more reactive bounce and control, making it ideal for developing manipulative skills like throwing, catching, striking, bouncing, and kicking. With its soft feel and lively action, it supports a wide range of physical education activities that help students build confidence while learning core movement skills in a fun and safe environment.

Below are 15 unique and creative activity ideas using the ClassicCoat Bounce Coated-Foam Ball to teach fundamental movement skills. These activities can be easily adapted for students in elementary, middle, or high school, and work well in both small and large group settings.

1. Bounce & Balance Blitz: Students bounce the ball continuously while balancing on one foot. Switch feet every 10 bounces. Builds static balance and hand control.

2. Catch Me If You Can-Can: In pairs, one student tosses the ball high while the other performs a locomotor movement (e.g., skipping or galloping) to catch it before the second bounce. Develops catching and agility.

3. Wall Ball Bounce-Back: Students throw the ball against a wall and catch it after one bounce. Vary the distance for different skill levels. Promotes throwing, tracking, and reaction time.

4. Bounce & Sprint Challenge: Students bounce the ball once, sprint to a cone and back, then catch the ball after the second bounce. Combines bouncing, sprinting, and hand-eye coordination.

5. Twist, Toss & Trap: Students twist their torso, toss the ball, and then try to trap it between their knees. Encourages twisting, tossing, and body control.

6. ClassicCoat Coordination Circuit: Create stations for bouncing, catching, rolling, and kicking. Students rotate through each skill. Builds full-body coordination.

7. Partner Pass Pop-Up: Partners pass the ball back and forth using underhand tosses, but they must squat before catching. Combines throwing, catching, and lower-body strength.

8. Bounce ‘n' Freeze: Students bounce the ball while music plays. When it stops, they freeze and hold the ball in a creative balance pose. Teaches rhythmic movement and control.
