#9 Simple Balloon Games: Teaching Ball Handling Skills to Children

My name is Amy Sturkey. I am a pediatric physical therapist. On this playlist, I teach ball-handling skills. I have amazing helpers of different ages to help teach these skills. I start with simple catching skills appropriate for a 4 to 5-year old. Through the playlist, the skills will become challenging enough to be tricky for a 16 to 18-year-old. I explain how I teach these skills as a pediatric therapist with a diverse clientele. I’d like to thank three families for allowing me to share their children. I’d like to thank these kids, Kai, Marcus, D’Mitri, Louisa, and Ariel for being willing to help. I hope you find these ideas useful and simple.
