Joe Dinoffer: When we speak about fitness, don't forget that reflex and reaction drills are also part of that same picture. Here a series of reaction building ball handling drills that will add fun to any session guaranteed. The action and reflex drills is a little different. Now, these again will be in the creative ground, what I like to feel is the creative drama keeping rather than the old standard stuff which is firing quick balls at people.
Do any of you know how to juggle? This will challenge even the jugglers. And it's going to start off easy because it's going to get tough. There your one ball, get your playing high set and you are just dropping it and catching it before not crossing up, not doing this but rather just dropping and catching and you should play in height, lower your playing height to catch it. Once you can do it righty, do it lefty and again adjust your playing height, you don't want to let people bend it to waist. You don't want to let people bend it to the waist, like this. You do want them to lower their playing height and quickly, alright.
Now let's say he is a juggler, so come on out here on the challenge and with little bit height, you get one ball in each hand, hands out. Now watch what I do with it, I put my hand, you don't want to start with that look, okay. I put one hand above each of his and I am going to call up right, left or both. Okay, so he can't throw his hands off to get the ball higher to gain height, right, left, left, both. Now, pair up and give it a try. This is the same level start. You can relax, okay. I will show you the next thing. Let's do that little.
Rotate so everyone gets to try, rotate. Kevin have you tried? Get down there. Well then push her up to start.
Alright, next level this will be a little more challenging. Now, I have to drop the ball I mean it's going to be difficult. You do a circle and then you catch. Walk right and then left and then both. So here is you with right, you'll do this circle, left, and then both, and then both, right, left, both, tossing up though. Now tossing up, together and it will take you some practice, but you will -- while your students with this.
No, some players they get up and do this, they go, wow! I got it, I got it, and they keep wriggling, we have to release the ball and do the circle. Okay, let's go.
Right over here, I am telling you my hands above this, are you ready? Okay right, hands up to mine, come on you need time. Right, right, now you test me.
Speaker: Right, right, both, left, left, both, right, right, both.
Joe Dinoffer: If you think that exercise is a lot of fun, you are right. Now, for some volley reflex drills let's move to a quick demonstration with just two of us. Just expand this idea to a large group as we explained before, and you'll quickly see, it's another winner.
Ready? If I move and you move and just a light touch, low, high, low, notice we are reaching and the footwork. Easy, easy, right, and hold my fingers and I can fake and go and fake and go, and fake and go, okay, pair up let's give it a try.
Now, let's move to a quick footwork drill that was set up as a really race, you will get a kick out of this one.
