The player with the ball stands behind the other two players, who have their back to him.
On the command of "Now" the player with the ball throws the ball. The two catchers have to turn quickly and try and catch the ball before it bounces.
Rotate players after 10 throws.
Players should be ready with bent knees, weight evenly distributed and eyes level. Makes sure players are not leaning backwards when taking the catch.
