DESCRIPTION

Gripping the Ball Drill

COACHING POINTS

Players line up on the blue hat, 1st player picks ball up with both hands then runs and places it next to the opposite red hat, then returns the ball to the original hat, they then move up to the next red hat and so on so on.

 

You can see the white hats in the drill, place one player on these white hats, they have a ball in hand and they try to make the red hat player drop the ball, by using the ball in their hands.

 

Important info is to 1st show the players the correct way to hold a ball, but do this after the 1st drill test, the correct way to hold a ball is to have your thumbs on top of the ball, in the middle of the ball, use the seam of the ball to guide the players hands , put all fingers spread under the ball, then pull thumbs back to wards the player holding the ball, The ball should be sitting on the tips of their fingers only as well as the full thumb. When held correctly you will see that the players palms are not in contact with the ball you will see a tonal so to speak between the ball and the figures.
