Warm Up - Ball Familiarity

30y by 30y area.

Technical Points:

Hands in the 'W' position

Watch ball into hands

Hands no higher than chest

Structure:

Players have 1 ball each and to start they just get used to the ball by throwing it from one hand to the other.

Progressions:

1) Players throw the ball up and down using both hands making sure the ball does not go higher than their chin.

2) Players bounce, once again with two hands in the 'w' position, and catch it. No higher than their chest.

3) Players throw above their head and catch, trying to catch the ball at their highest point. Make sure players shout their name when they do it.

4) Players roll the ball in front of them and then move towards and scoop it into their hands. Ball should only be a maximum of 3 yards away.
