Reaction trapping

Partner work

One participant sits on the floor with their back against the vaulting box. His legs are spread apart, his arms are held out in front of him and his gaze is fixed on a marker cone about 5-6 metres in front of him. The partner kneels/stands on the vaulting box and drops a foam/softball with their arms outstretched forwards. The seated participant tries to catch the ball before it falls to the floor. After a few attempts, the roles are swapped.
