Lineout throw and catch

How it works

1. Mark a straight line with cones. The thrower stands at the end of the line, two catchers stand on the line, 5 and 7 metres away.
2. The thrower calls a catcher and throws straight down the line to them. Catchers jump on the spot, no lifting.
3. Rotate jobs. Count straight throws.

Coaching points

• The ball travels along the cone line, not across it.
• Catchers: hands up, eyes on the ball.
• No lifting. Catchers jump on their own.

Ready for the next level when: Throws go straight down the line to the called catcher most of the time.
