Hooverball!

This AM's activity at NSA Millington - good fun hurling a 4 pound ball at each other across a volleyball net (look for the yellow/grey ball where the gentleman in the red shirt is reaching - and he caught it!). Google "Hooverball" for the rules and history. This game demands and enhances strength, speed, agility, coordination, accuracy, flexibility, balance, and stamina - perhaps even some endurance. It is also a superb way to evaluate how our 'constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity' translate to to a real world - can you throw the huge ball farther and faster? Can you react better, move faster, reach and catch? Best of all - we had a grand time!
