    Catching relay | Throwing & Catching

    Catching relay:

    Player 1 rolls the ball out for 2 to run in and flicks the ball back to 1 who catches it and puts it down. Player 3 then rolls the ball out towards 1, who runs towards 3, flicks the ball at 3 who catches it and puts the ball down.

    On completing the throw you join the opposite queue.
    Aim: First team to take 15 catches wins. If you drop one you go back to 0.

    The first team to throw the ball 10 times across the pitch is the winner.

    3 ball round the clock | Throwing & Catching

    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.

    Advanced catch ball rotation | 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.
