Finish the practice with a juggle

Close this out with rhythm, then meet the third ball. There's a clip for this one right here in the drill — three throws, and the catches take care of themselves. Twenty two-ball exchanges on the beat first. Now put two balls in your strong hand and one in the other. Throw one, throw the second as it peaks, throw the third as that one peaks. Three throws. Do not chase the catches — the throws are the skill. Ten attempts, and start with your other hand half of them.

  1. Two balls, twenty exchanges, saying 'throw — throw' on the beat.
  2. New: two in one hand, one in the other. Throw, throw, throw — three throws, then let them land.
  3. Ten attempts at those three throws. Catching them is a bonus.
