Throw to target

How it works

  1. One player throws two-handed overhead to a partner standing 5 metres away with hands up.
  2. The ball should arrive straight, at the hands, every time. Count straight throws out of 10.
  3. Step back a metre each time the pair gets 8 out of 10.

Coaching points

  • Feet shoulder-width, both hands on the ball.
  • Throw straight over the top, follow through to the target.
  • Straight first, distance later.

Ready for the next level when: Throwers hit the target 8 out of 10 times from 8 metres.
