Change the environment: have the child aim at a specific cone/ball to decrease cognitive demand

Change the equipment: use a bigger lighter ball on top of the cone to decrease physical and cognitive demand

Change the environment: increase the distance between child who is throwing at the ball and cone to increase physical demand

Change the equipment: decrease the number of balls a child can throw at a cone to increase physical demand

• the child can accurately under-hand throw the ball to knock down a ball off a cone placed 2m away, 2 out of 3 times
