Change It...

Easier

  • Reduce the playing area
  • Introduce a no-go zone that only the defender can enter

Harder

  • On your call, vary the type of pass, ie ground ball, underarm or overarm
  • Set a target
  • Add a time limit

Tips

  • Fielding players should move their feet and body behind the ball
  • Players should bend at the knees and waist, with the fingers pointing down to field the ball

Question

  • When the defender is standing next to the receiver, what type of throw is best?
