Precision Throwing Circuit
Precision throwing circuit: target stations with beanbags, targets and hoops at different distances.
How to play
- Set up 4–5 stations with floor targets, hanging hoops and buckets.
- Each station has a throwing line and points by zone.
- Each student throws 5 beanbags and adds up points.
- Rotate every 3 minutes.
Rules
- Collect equipment only when everyone has thrown.
- Throw from behind the line.
Variations
Easier
Short distances and big targets.
Standard
Three distances depending on the station.
Harder

Adaptations
- Limited mobility: seated throws from a closer line.
- Low vision: high-contrast targets.
Learning goals
