Community | Ball Co-Ordination

Kevin Keen Coach, Scotland

DESCRIPTION

Simple exercise to build up co-ordination with young children whilst including a tennis ball. The players each have a tennis ball, and are given one half of a court as an area to walk around in with their ball. On the coaches command, players will throw the ball up (not too high) and catch it whilst continuing to walk around their designated area.

COACHING POINTS

Coach can progress the commands to make the game easier or more challenging. Throw the ball up but allow the ball to bounce before it's caught. Throw the ball up with one hand and catch it with the other. Coach could also progress to players being in pairs, throwing the ball to one another within their area. Players should be reminded of court awareness, making sure they don't bump into one another.
