Instructions

  1. 1Charge the rolled ball under control, chopping the feet down as the ball nears.
  2. 2Field the ball barehanded off the correct foot and transfer directly into the throw.
  3. 3Throw on the move without stopping to square the shoulders fully.
  4. 4Track clean fields versus bobbles caused by charging too fast or too slow.

What to focus on

Matching footwork speed to the ball so the barehand field is clean.

Common mistake

Charging too hard and bobbling, or slowing down and short-hopping the throw.
