Toss and catch

How it works

1. Each player tosses the ball just above their head and catches it with hands up, fingers spread.
2. Then in pairs, 2 big steps apart: a gentle underarm pop to your partner's hands. 10 catches, then one step further apart.
3. Make it a challenge: how many catches in a row can your pair make?

Coaching points

• Hands up and out as a target before the ball comes.
• Watch the ball all the way into your hands.
• Soft hands: give a little as you catch, like catching an egg.

Ready for the next level when: Every pair can make 10 catches in a row from 4 big steps apart.
