BLIND BALL A & B







Purpose

  • To develop the players’ quickness in turning their body around for the ball. The purpose is also to emphasize getting their head and shoulders around quickly.


Procedure

  • "A"- A player lines up about 10 yards from the coach with his back to the coach. The coach then throws the ball towards the player and when the ball is halfway to the player the coach says "Left or Right". The player turns as quickly as possible and tries to catch the ball in his hands.

  • "B"- Using the same procedure as "A" the player turns just his head and               shoulders around as quickly as possible.


Coaching Points

  • Emphasize quickness to turning body or head and shoulders around catching the ball with the hands.
