Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners grip a bat/paddle with both hands. They stand with the foot opposite the throwing hand slightly forward. Learners swing the bat/paddle upward and backward. Learners swing the bat/paddle fast to strike a stationary balloon from down and upward with a follow through (continuous movement of the hand at direction of object movement after striking).
