DESCRIPTION

1) In pairs the players stand facing each other on opposite sides of the court with one ball between them. 2) Player 1 then underhand throws the ball above his/her head, turns 180 degrees to face the opposite direction, and passes the ball to their partner. 3) Player 2 catches the ball and repeats step 2. 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for a set time.

COACHING POINTS

The player's throw should be high enough for him/her to have time to turn around and prepare for the pass to their partner.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Balance and power:

In pairs with one ball, both players face each other in the squat position.

The players then have to push the ball at head height with two hands. Heels should not stay in contact with the floor.

On the coach's signal the players should start to push harder and jump in squat position with the aim of making their opponent lose balance.

The one to stay balanced three times wins
