Catching

Over the shoulder:

Players work in pairs with 1 ball.

Players throw the ball in the air but over the top of the player that has to catch the ball so the player has to run back and track the ball to catch it.

Catching

Catching in Pairs:

Players take it in turns to throw a high pass to one another.

5 high catches each and then swap roles.

The pass should be accurate and the focus here is on getting the technique right under the high catch.

Catching

2 teams, 1 ball with 2 grids diagonally across from each other.

Each team is made out of 3 pairs and one float support player.
