Rounders: Corners - Roll and Throw

Can your players catch high balls and difficult bobblers? To improve their hand-eye coordination this week we give them some extra catching practice!

Post person calls a number or colour cone, worker runs around that cone, feeder passes the ball in and passes it to the post player

CP eye on the ball, set yourself before you catch and then release with body weight moving towards the target. Development – add a runner who can put pressure on the post player.

Players stand in a circle with 1 or 2 balls (there are 2 in the video).

They have to throw the ball to each other and every time one of them makes a mistake they have to drop down on one knee.

On the second mistake they have to drop down onto both knees and with the third mistake they are out.

Who will be the last player standing/ kneeling?

Aim - to encourage lateral movement Work in threes. Start with a ball on every cone. The worker starts at the bucket (middle) and works laterally to each cone to retrieve the ball and bring it back to the middle. see how many retrieved in 30 seconds. once all the balls are in the middle the next worker can try to take each ball back from the middle and place it by the cones.

In 4s 1 worker 2 balls.

Worker (13)  receives and releases a ball to feeder who doesn’t have a ball

CP step into pass, keep eye on the ball. Feeders give the ball as soon as the worker has released it.
