Inside the Practice

This is a fun warm up activity as an intro to a heading session, it includes coordination and skill.

Coaching Pointers:
Divide the entire group into pairs. There should be at least 5 yards between each player. Use one ball. Player “A” serves and underhanded throw to player “B’s” chest.
Player “B” must chest the ball up into the air, then head the ball back to player “A’s” hands. This is a lot harder than it seems. Perform 8 each and change roles.
