This programme can be used to improve your throwing and catching skills. You need to practice 2 to 3 times per week.
Being able to throw and catch helps children to join in with P.E. or after school activities and play with their friends at playtime.
Throwing and catching is a fun way to improve your hand-eye coordination and learn underlying skills that help you complete everyday tasks. For example, catching helps to develop the use of two hands together needed for using cutlery, fastening buttons and tying shoelaces. Throwing helps to develop understanding of force and grading of movement, needed in self-care activities like washing and dressing.
Start at number 1, if you catch 8 out of 10 throws, you are ready to move onto number 2.
Throw underarm unless your therapist has told you otherwise.
Use some of the following games to help make the session more interesting and to encourage using your brain at the same time as moving.
