Wall Ball

Hold the ball at your chest; squat deep, then drive up and throw the ball at a target high on the wall, catch the rebound and sink straight into the next squat.

How to do it

Setup

Ball at the chest, facing a wall target at ~3 m height, feet shoulder-width.

Steps

  1. Squat deep with the ball at the chest.
  2. Drive up and throw the ball to the target in one motion.
  3. Catch it into the next squat.

Common mistakes

Throwing from a half squat: full depth loads the throw. Catching tall then squatting: catch INTO the descent; it saves the shoulders and the rhythm. Ball drifting from the chest: it rides close.

Breathing

Exhale on the throw, inhale in the squat.
