Home workouts with ballMaggie Steffens Does It Better - ball handling, which will help wrist and shoulder strength and improving reaction timing. As you bring your hand forward let the ball roll over your fingers on to the back of your hand, bring your hand back, catch the ball and repeat. Try 10 without dropping it... Once you have mastered it standing, do it in the lunge position and then kneeling on both knees.
Sit Up and Pass Drill With Variations. A “dry” drill you can do whilst away from the pool - either with a sibling, friend or keen parent. (If they don’t want to do the drill they can pass the ball to you or you could use a wall). 10 reps of each to start with - if you are keen, try it with your non-dominant hand too. Passing Lunges. Passing whilst lunging on alternate legs. 20 reps, keeping the ball “dry” - either with a partner or against a wall. Try it with your non-dominant hand too. Core Workout With Ball. More core work with some ball handling thrown in. 5-10 reps of each (x2/3). Add these to the previous drills, you’ll be getting a decent all body workout and be stronger in the pool. |
