How It Works
Passing and catching practice in three steps.
-
1. Find a flat wall
A flat brick or concrete wall works best.
-
2. Pass at the wall
Throw the ball so the flattened end hits the wall.
-
3. Catch the rebound
It comes straight back to you like a return pass, so you can catch and go again.
