DESCRIPTION

In pairs facing each other, players throw the ball two handed overhead and into the ground, bending the body correctly. The ball should then bounce up and reach the other player.

COACHING POINTS

Blocking requires strained muscles of abdomen and back, and in this drill they work sufficiently.

PROGRESSION

Progression may be applied by standing backwards to teammate and throwing the ball without looking.
