- Prescription
- 3 × 6 catches · 60 s restabout 6 min
- Players
- 2 minimum
- Equipment
- Football, Blocking bag or shield (recommended)
A standing dummy (or a standing bag) plays the defender. You run next to it, jump and take the ball above its head, arms extended. Your partner throws high on purpose. Take your run-up in two steps, right-left or left-right, like a basketball player going for a rebound. Three sets of six.
Key points
- Two run-up steps to load the legs.
- The catch is made above the dummy, not next to it.
- Bring the ball into your body before you land.
Common mistakes
- Jumping on the spot, with no run-up.
- Waiting for the ball to come down instead of going to get it.
