Catching relay:

Player 1 rolls the ball out for 2 to run in and flicks the ball back to 1 who catches it and puts it down. Player 3 then rolls the ball out towards 1, who runs towards 3, flicks the ball at 3 who catches it and puts the ball down.

On completing the throw you join the opposite queue.
Aim: First team to take 15 catches wins. If you drop one you go back to 0.

Throwing & Catching

All the Way Across the field:

Teams of 4 try and throw the ball across a pitch as quickly as possible, not missing any players out.

The first team to throw the ball 10 times across the pitch is the winner.

Throwing & Catching

Setup: 4 players stand in a diamond with 3 balls. A 5th player stands in the middle.

To start the drill 1 of the outside players throw their ball to the player in the middle who has to return the ball the player who did not have a ball before the ball was thrown.

The middle player then rotates to receive the next ball and the drill continues in this way.
