DESCRIPTION

Set up the practice as shown.

Two balls per group.

Two fielders each have a ball and they take it in turns to throw the ball to the worker.

When the worker catches the ball they throw the ball back to the same fielder that threw them that ball.

COACHING POINTS

Maintain bent knees through sideways movements - side step.

When catching, ensure that the head and body are behind the ball.

Make sure that the worker watches the ball into the hands - on a normal catch the fingers should be pointing down.

For more advanced players increase the size of the triangle.

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.

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 in pairs - Variety:

Players work in pairs, with one ball between two.

Both players must complete 30 throws.

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

Throwing & Catching

Under arm flick group race, angled throw.:

2) rolls the ball out, 1) underarm flicks to 3) then takes up 2)s position. 2) turns towards 3), 3) rolls ball, 2) underarm flicks to 4) and takes up 3)s position. Go all around the square.
Race against another team. If a miss-field happens gather the ball and carry on.
