Throwing & Catching

Advanced catch ball rotation:

The 2nd player in the line throws a high ball over the head of the 1st player, for them to run onto and catch close to the bowling square.

Once they have caught the ball they should turn and throw to the fielding player at the 4th post.

The 4th post player then throws the ball to the new 2nd player in the line who then repeats the exercise.

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

Bounce pass reaction catch:

Players work in pairs for this exercise, with one ball between two.

Players take it in turns to bounce pass the ball at each other for the other player to react to and catch, either one or two handed.
