  Children
love using Crazy Catch. Crazy Catch provides excellent skill development
with lots of repetition but in a fun way. Watch their skills improve.
Crazy Catch is a fun way to improve key basic
motor skills of children at your school, (particularly the overhand throw
and catch). Recent research shows that children of today are, on average,
performing poorly with these skills and that this seriously limits their
lifetime participation in sport.
For use by a wide range of children with a
wide range of skill levels.
 It
can be a self directed activity with children responsible for setting up the
nets each day and using them. All sorts of games are invented.
What is great to see is that by choosing the
type of ball and the sane or insane side, the Crazy Catch can match the
skill level of the children. This encourages use of the Crazy Catch by
children of all ages and skill levels.
Activities
Crazy Catch nets can be used as part of your
formal physical education programme. Again the ball type and the sane or
insane side, allows you to match the challenge with the skill level of the
children. The One Minute Crazy Catch Challenge is excellent and gives
children and teachers good feedback on their level of skill. There are a few
activities listed below.
- Take turns to see how many out of 5 each
child can catch from behind a line or from inside a hoop. This
distance can be extended as skill levels improve.
- How many catches can a team of three take
in 1 minute from behind a line. This can be a competition with other
teams. With several Crazy Catch nets it could be the first team to 20.
- Three at a time and position the less
skilled in the centre and slightly forward so that they have more
catching opportunities.
- One person throws at an acute angle from a
reasonably close range with 3 or more catchers excellent slip
catching practise.
