Practice the Pinch Shot
The pinch shot first hits the side wall that is just a few inches apart from the front wall and then hits the front wall very low before going backwards diagonally. It usually bounces twice in front of the short line which makes it hard for the opponent player to return.

TEACHING HINTS:

Place students on court in safe place.
Demonstrate the following:
1. Forehand side of court
2. Backhand side of court
Explain the values of Pinch Shots and when they should be incorporated into a player’s game.
Demonstrate practice drill for Pinch Shots using drop hit ball drill.

Direct four students to go to each court and practice making pinch shots.

Cageball Target Throw

INSTRUCTIONS:

An area about 20 ft wide is marked across the center of the playing area, with a cageball in the center. The object of the game is to throw the foam balls against the cageball, thus forcing it across the line in front of the other team. Players may come up to the line to throw, but they may not throw while inside the cageball area. A player may enter the area, however, to recover a ball. No one is to touch the cageball at any time, nor may the cageball be pushed with a ball in the hands of a player. If the cageball seems to roll too easily, deflate it slightly.
