Back to Activities
Description
•Players move around a defined space freely, one ball per player.
•While moving, players toss the ball in the air with thier hands, then head it up in the air.
•Players try to get the ball under control within one bounce and dribble away. Repeat
Variations:
-Same as above except head the bal down. Now players must use forehead and contact the top half of the ball to make it go down.
-Toss, head twice: First low, Then high and away
-Partners, toss the ball to partner who tries to head it back over the tosser’s head.
Coaching Points
•Use the forehead to contact ball.
•Hit on the underside of the ball to drive it inot the air.
•Use legs to spring up at the ball.
•After players get the feel, encourage them to head it hard and get it as high in the air as possible.
