Catching and Throwing practise for P-2 students

All P-2 classes are practising their ball skills this term with 2 handed catching, rolling, underarm throwing, bounce passing (Prep) and chest passing (yr 1-2) the focus. Families can practise these skills at home with large soft balls, beanbags and rolled up socks. Catching cues – look at the ball, palms towards the ball, spread the fingers, reach for the ball and pull it in. Rolling cues – toes towards target, look at target, big step with opposite, bend knee and roll, back heel up. Throwing cues – look at target, toes to target, small step with opposite leg, back heel lifts. If underarm throwing or rolling the arms remain straight and swing from back to front before release. If chest passing or bounce passing ball begins at chest, below the collar.
