Catch Champions! — The Throwing & Catching Skill Card
Category: Throwing & Catching · 1-page printable PDF · Free for ConnectedPE members
An eight-challenge skill ladder for throwing and catching that starts where catching actually begins — scarf drops, which float slowly enough for young eyes to track — and climbs through to moving catches, with bronze-to-gold progression across the ladder.
Every challenge uses standard PE equipment and partner work, so the card runs as paired practice with built-in self-assessment tracking. The ladder structure means students always know their current rung and their next one — progression made visible, which keeps practice purposeful instead of aimless.
One page, print-and-go. Use it as the spine of an early-years object-control unit, a stations rotation, or assessment evidence — the tracked ladder is a per-student record of exactly which catching skills are secure. Pairs with Catch Quest for a station-based approach to the same skill family: Quest for breadth and adventure, Champions for the focused climb.
