Children must pair up with one ball between each pair and stand opposite their partner roughly 3 metres apart. The aim is for them to complete 10 passes and catches of whatever type of throw the coach asks.

Examples; underarm, overhead, right/left hand, sitting down, kneeling, lying down, backward etc.

 

Progressions: 

- Increase distance between the two people to make it harder.

- Change the item being thrown to change the difficulty - eg. dodgeballs, tennis balls.

- Introduce someone in the middle to act as a intercepter/defender - like piggy in the middle. Middle person must stay inside a hoop but can jump up to intercept the ball. After ball is caught, the person who last touched it becomes the middle person.
