tips

Keep your eyes on the ball at all times.
Look where you’re throwing the ball.
Aim for the middle of the board/wall.
Don’t throw the ball too hard or it will go over your head.
Make sure you throw it hard enough to get it back behind the line.
Take your time and use the correct technique.
Ball should be in-between your index and your middle finger with your thumb on the side.
Catch the ball with two hands together, fingers pointing upwards.

rules

When starting you should be stood behind the line, you must then wait for the ball to bounce back before taking your next throw.
If the ball does not come back behind the line they you must pick it up, come back behind the line and then continue.
If you throw the ball in front of the line then it does not count.
If the ball goes behind the board you must pick it up and return to the line before continuing.
10 throws must be completed before the clock is stopped.
The clock starts with the first throw.
