Purpose: Practicing pick up of the bobbling ball and throwing at a stump/cone under pressure.
Description: Players get into 2 pairs with a stump in the middle. The teams take turns to throw the ball at the stump. The first pair to hit the stump 3 times is the winner.
Safety Note: Mark out a 20m wide area around the stump that players must not enter. If the ball stops inside the area the game must stop for the ball to be retrieved.
