Ground clash /jostle

  

 

 
 

Get in close beside your opponent.

Ensure you keep your eyes on the ball.

Use a two-handed quick, wristy swing.

Keep at least one foot on the ground.

 

Points to note:

·        Players should ensure that they make shoulder to shoulder (jostle) and hip to hip contact when striking the ball on the ground.

 

Practise skill:

Players pair off in two lines facing the teacher.

The teacher holds a hurl on the ground between each pair as they approach(1)walking(2)jogging.

Both players swing on the hurl together.

Progress to throwing a ball in between the pairs instead of the hurl.
