There are a variety of ways to adapt instructional methods for students having difficulty mastering hand-eye coordination. One method is using larger, lighter ball materials to slow the pace of the ball when attempting to catch. One approach mentioned by Pangrazi (2010) is balloons. “Balloons provide interesting movement experiences and emphasize hand–eye coordination. Students who are not ready for faster-moving ball skills can achieve success with balloons. Beach balls are larger, and they move more slowly and predictably. Both objects are harmless, so students can learn to catch without fear of being hurt. These objects move slowly, so students have ample time to learn proper footwork” (Pangrazi, 2010). I believe these alternatives will provide all students the opportunity to practice and fine tune their skills. Not only that, it is fun experience for them.
