3 ball round the clock:

Setup: 4 players stand in a diamond with 3 balls. A 5th player stands in the middle.

To start the drill 1 of the outside players throw their ball to the player in the middle who has to return the ball the player who did not have a ball before the ball was thrown.

The middle player then rotates to receive the next ball and the drill continues in this way.

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

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).

Throwing & Catching

Team Juggle:

Set up in teams of 6.

Players stand diagonally opposite each other about 2 metres apart. The area that the players are working in should be approx 25 metres long.

Player 1 has 3 balls (tennis or rounders), and passes them underarm one at a time to player 2 to catch, and so on.

Once they have released all 3 balls they can then run on the outside of their line in time to receive a ball from player 6.

The rest of the team do the same.

The aim is to reach the end of the area without dropping a ball.

Once they have reached the end of the area work back in the opposite direction.
