Rounders: Throwing in pairs - Variety

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...
Phil

DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs, with one ball between two.

Both players must complete 30 throws.

  1. The first 10 throws should be made underarm (like when bowling).
  2. The next 10 throws should be made overarm.
  3. The final 10 throws should hit the ground before reaching their partner.

COACHING POINTS

Look for concentration and safe hands throughout, with players consistently gathering the ball, bringing it into their body before throwing it back.

When catching the third throw (the bobbler) players should use the long barrier to ensure they don't allow the ball to get past them!

Team Juggle | 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.

Target throwing | Throwing & Catching

Target throwing:

Working in pairs with one ball per pair players throw the ball back and forth to each other.

The object of the exercise is to hit the cone positioned between each pair using an overarm throw.

Throwing & Catching
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.
