Rounders: Varying distance

A very easy to use website with helpful drills to help my players...

Winston

DESCRIPTION

In pairs 1 ball between them

Set out the varying distances with lines of cones. These distances should vary according to the ability of the player. ( the above is a guide line)

Players need to throw a different way depending on the distance the ball has to cover.

This is a great practice to teach players what the purpose is of the varying ways of throwing the ball.

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

Varied catching:

4 players 3 balls

1 worker 3 feeders.

Feeder 1 throws the ball along the floor for the worker to barrier stop the ball and feed back.

the next feeder then throws up a high ball for the worker to catch and return before the last player throws a straight ball into the body to be caught and returned.

Next the start again at the beginning.

swap after 3 times round.

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

Under arm flick:

The ball is placed in the middle of the playing area.

The first player (3) runs in, picks the ball up and does an under arm flick to the opposite player (1).

The receiving player catches the ball and then runs back into the middle where they put the ball down again before joining the back of the opposite queue.

As the player (1) joins he back of the line they tag the next player (4) and the drill continues.
