10–15 MINUTESADULT-SUPERVISEDFREE COURSE

Today’s lesson.

Organize a controlled transfer.

Why it matters

A catcher leads the next play with a clean exchange.

What you need

Soft tosses, safe throw lane and target partner; no rushed throws.

How to do the drill

Catch, secure, move feet toward a safe target, and make a comfortable short throw.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Secure, set, throw.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Complete 5 clean transfers and short accurate throws.

One common mistake

Trying to throw before setting feet.

Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
