Throwing on the move | Throwing & Catching

Throwing on the move:

See how many consecutive catches the Post fielder can take before he/she has to move or the ball bounces. If this happens put score back to 0.

The fielder should be able to touch the post with the ball each time without moving their feet.

This can be done against another group, i.e. first to 15 catches without Fielder moving away from the post.
