1. Adopt ready position.

2. Continue to hold the hurl in this position with the stronger hand. Hold hurl short if necessary.

3. Move the weaker hand into the chest in a cupped position.

4. Pupils catch an imaginary ball in this position. Practice throwing imaginary ball head high and catching it into chest.

5. Repeat this with real ball throwing it progressively higher and catching it.

Points to note:

• Poor co-ordination, ball bounces off chest :-move closer to partner and when successful gradually move further apart.
• Emphasise that body should be moved to receive the ball into the chest
