Throw and catch up and down Ca...

Create a mini-pitch for every two players. In the picture there are 4 pairs and 4 pitches. Players must try and throw and catch the ball a set number of times consecutively, without making a mistake. Every time they drop the ball they should start counting from 1 again. The set number and distance between players depends on their ability. When a pair reaches the set number (say 5 for beginners) the pair can move to the next pitch and the players on that pitch move down (both pairs start from 1 again).

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
