Tennis balls

The solo version: toss the ball into the air with one hand, catch it with the other, tossing it higher and higher and further and further off-center. Four patterns, fifty catches, within two square meters, and all by yourself.

Key points

  • Throw with one hand, catch with the other, then alternate.
  • Progress gradually: first in front, then above, then to the side.
  • Thumbs touching above the eyes, little fingers below.

Common mistakes

  • Always throwing to the same spot: without variation, nothing happens anymore after a minute.
  • Catching with both hands, which cancels the work.
