Players

Equipment
Football

You throw the ball high, well above your head, and go get it at the top, arms fully extended, jumping on the last few inches. The catch is made above your forehead, never at chest height. Start standing still, feet planted, then add a step or two of run-up before the jump. Three sets of eight.

Key points

  • Your arms reach for the ball, not the other way around.
  • Thumbs together behind the ball, above your forehead.
  • You bring the ball into your body as soon as you catch it.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the ball drop down to your chest.
  • Jumping too early and coming down before the ball.
