DESCRIPTION

Throw the ball in the air using two hands, move to where the ball is coming down sit down on the floor and catch the ball.

When you have caught the ball throw the ball up in the air and get up ready to catch it.

COACHING POINTS

Look for controlled throws, ideally players shouldn't need to move from where they are stood if they are throwing the ball accurately.

The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.

VSW:READY TO POUNCE

Bounce and Move:

One of the partners has the ball and holds it out away from their body in front of their belly button. The player then turns and drops the ball and the partner has to move and catch the ball before it bounces twice and they repeat (no dummy moves and the ball must land twice in the same place).

As they get better at the game, the player catching the ball must be facing their partner when they catch the ball and the ball must be caught with their hands just in front of and between their knees.

The catcher then must turn and drop the ball within 1 or 2 seconds. You play this game for points or time.
