maintaining the dribble, each player must try to tag another player, who is then "it". Players

try to avoid getting tagged and becoming "it". They must stay within the half court area and

must continue dribbling. If a player leaves the area, or double-dribbles, stops dribbling, or

gets tagged, then he/she is "it".

This drill will help develop ball handling, and to avoid getting tagged, players must keep their

heads up. If you have a large group with some good ball handlers, and some not so well, you

can put the better dribblers on one end, and the other group on the other end, so the same kids

don't get picked on all the time. You can vary this drill by making them use the opposite

(weak) hand.

Importance of game: This game helps students to develop their Hand-eye Coordination

The main objective in Miss me! is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by

throwing the ball at them. Plays must miss the ball to remain in the game and the team who

manages to eliminate all of their opponent’s first are deemed the winners. There is no fixed

amount of players that are needed to have a miss me! game, with games varying between

small numbers to large players. A lot will depend on the space available to play the game and

the overall pool of player available. School leagues or regulated games will have a set

number of players, which again will differ from each league. There is no fixed dimension and

area for a Miss me! game with the game going ahead on the most appropriate surface and

venue.

Similarly, there is no universal agreement on the balls that are used in a Miss me!

game. Players operating in a league format would be expected to all play with the same ball

size or type, but this can be agreed by each individual league. While there is no real point

scoring in Miss me! the aim of the game is to eliminate players of the opposing team, which

can be done in a number of ways. The most obvious way is hitting an opponent with a ball, if

a player is hit and the ball is not caught before becoming dead, that player is eliminated.

However, if a player throws a ball that is caught by an opponent, the throwing player is

eliminated from the game. Some variations of the game allow for a reinstatement of players if

their team catches the ball. This can ensure the game lasts for a longer time-period and

provides an incentive for catching the ball, as opposed to just dodging the ball. A player will

eliminate themselves if they run out of the court of play.
