SQUADS OF THREE

Match the men as nearly even in
height as possible in groups or squads
of three.

One man acts as the official and
tosses the ball up between the other
two several times.

One of the other men assumes the
duties of the official and the other two
men jump.

As the drill progresses, have the
men designate where they are going to
tip the ball.

‘Have the men make constructive
criticism of each other, and allow the
man acting as official to call infrac-
tions on the jumpers.

By varying the players as officials
the men get practice in jumping for
balls thrown at various heights and
with varying timing.

WALL DRILL FOR HEIGHT

Station the men along a smooth wall and have them jump and see how

high they can reach on the wall.

Stress in this drill the importance of a hard arm swing.

JUMP TOUCH

Using the pole vault standards conduct a contest by having the men
jump and touch the bar. Failure on three attempts at any height dis-
qualify the individual, just as in the high jump or pole vault.

Then have the individual reach as high as possible up the side of a wall.

Subtract this reaching height from his jumping height for the results.

This also encourages the use of the finger tips as in tipping the ball.
