Squash Bombs
============

equipment
---------

1 x 'rope' racket for each player

1-3 beach balls as 'bombs'


rules
-----

1) divide the court into 4 quarter areas

2) a junior takes one quarter each, and has to protect it from the
bombs - they can ONLY use the 'rope' racket to move the bombs out of
their area

3) if a bomb stays in their area for more than 3 seconds, or 2 hits from
the junior, then the bomb explodes !!!

4) if there are more than 4 juniors, then the next waiting junior comes
in to take the place of the 'exploded' junior


variations
----------

play until a bomb explodes -> swap players

play to a time limit

can be played with 1 bomb, then 2 bombs, even 3 bombs...


skills learned
--------------

to use the momentum of the 'rope' racket to genrate the power required
to 'hit' the bombs => good racket swing technique

developes good racket preperation (back swing) and body positioning
when swinging at a bomb

watching other players/bombs => better observation, anticipation and
movement to intercept an incoming bomb

better balance => not diving to hit a bomb, but staying on their feet
with better balance, so they can react quickly to the next incoming bomb
