Fence Drill

Purpose:

Players work on their throwing accuracy and strength. In particular, this drill helps players perfect their wrist snap, which is essential to throwing the ball powerfully and accurately.

Setup:

Players line up next to a fence.

Instructions:

1. Players turn the ball in their hand and wrist snap or tap it against the fence. Then make a slow- motion simulated throw without actually throwing the ball.

Coaching Tips:

• When players finish the simulated throw, their palm should be facing down.
• The thumb should be directly below the fingers, the ball shouldn’t be deep into the palm.
  Players should try to grip the ball across the seams for a tighter rotation and more spin.
