Today’s lesson.

Make every partner throw predictable.

Why it matters

Being prepared and clearly communicating matter more than distance.

What you need

Two people stand across a clear lane with a soft ball.

How to do the drill

Check behind both players, make eye contact, say “ready,” toss gently at a large chest-height target.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Ready? Ready.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Complete 8 safe toss-and-catches with a partner.

One common mistake

Throwing before the receiver looks.

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