The entire group are placed in an area 10 x 10 yards. The coach is positioned at the side o the square.
The coach calls out a players name and serves a “soft” throw just above head height to the player. The player
must prevent the ball (egg) from hitting the ground by “catching” (controlling) it using their thigh or foot. A point is awarded for each successful attempt. Increase height of service gradually.
