OFTEN USED WITH...

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

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

Run Around:

After the first player has thrown the ball to the player next to them, they have to run all the way around to try and get back to their starting position before the ball does.

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.
