DESCRIPTION

The aim of this game is for your players to make 10 catches without any of the players being touched by the opposition whilst holding the ball.

If touched the ball goes to the other team and they can then try to complete 10 passes.

The first team to take the 10 catches whilst staying in the grid wins.

COACHING POINTS

Players are allowed to run with the ball, however if they run out the grid the ball goes to the other side.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Catching:

For this game you need two teams of between 6-10 players on each side.

One team tries to see how many catches they can do in a specified time, whist the other team sees how many people they can get to run around the cone and back.

Catching

Short catching / Underarm throwing:

The fielder behind the stumps rolls the ball out, player 2 picks up the ball and throws over the top of the stumps to the fielder behind the stumps.

The process is repeated until player 5 goes who then continues their run to replace the player behind the stumps.

Ground fielding and throwing

Catching drill:

Partners stand opposite each other and throw a ball back and forth, trying to see how many catches they can make in a given time (e.g. 1 minute).

Catching

Catching to the left and right:

Player 1 throws the ball to player 2 to run in and catch before throwing the ball back to player 1. Player 2 then joins the back of the other queue.
Player 1 throws another flat catch to the next person in line on the other side.

Player 1 throws 10 balls before everyone swaps position in a clockwise direction with all players taking it in turn to throw the ball.
