Catching in pairs

How-To

1. Players form pairs.
2. On your signal, players throw to each other aiming for their partner’s chest.
3. After 5 successful throws, each player takes 1 step back aiming to reach the line behind them.
4. Use player role models to demonstrate the correct technique and become familiar with the glove.

Easier

• Reduce the distance between players and throw underarm

Harder

• Players count the number of consecutive catches and try to increase this number
• Players count the number of throws each pair can make in 30 seconds

Tips

• Hold the ball in the fingers, not the palm of the hand
• Take a step forward as you throw
• Aim for your partner’s chest
• Stand side-on to the player you are throwing to
• Catch the ball in the pocket of the glove

Question

• What do you need to do with your bare hand and the glove to make sure the ball stays in?
