and basic techniques such as

proper throwing forms. Using all
of the listed skills in the first 3
days to incorporate their
understanding of how to play the
game.

TSW be able to take everything they

learned and put it in to the two main
activities that will show their
understanding for the game and rules
of Trangleball.
Trangle Soccer: One team plays
defense (all goalies), right outside the
short line. This line is only made to
protect the players from getting too
close to the Triangle. The offensive
team sets up outside the long line. A
point is scored when the offensive
team hits the face of the Triangle in
their sector with the ball. They can all
move but not in front of the long line.
Defensive players cannot go beyond
the long line.
Trangleball: Split students up into
teams. Object of the game is to pass
with your teammates with a max
number of passes of three before you
have to hit the triangle. The way to
score is to hit the triangle into an
open spot to hit the ground so the
apposing team does not catch the
ball. If the apposing team catches the
ball they have a maximum of three
turns to pass or hit the triangle
anytime before three to try and score
