Fist Pass Against the Wall

Use a wall to practise your fist pass and catch. Strike the ball cleanly against the wall and catch the rebound — a great solo drill you can do anywhere.

How to do it

Stand in front of a wall, hold the ball in one hand, make a fist and punch it at the wall, then catch it when it comes back! See how many times in a row you can do it! 🤚

For Parents & Coaches

01

Strike with the Knuckles

Punch through the ball with a closed fist, leading with your knuckles for a clean, powerful strike.

02

Follow Through

Your striking hand should follow through towards the wall after contact.

03

Soft Hands on the Catch

Watch the ball all the way into your hands. Spread fingers wide and pull the ball into your body as it comes back.

04

Vary the Distance

Start 1m from the wall and step back as you get comfortable. Further away = more time to react and better technique practice.
