Here Comes the Ball II

Parent and child practice throwing and catching a ball with bouncing, focusing on overhand throwing technique and catching a bounced ball. The agent coaches the parent to observe throwing mechanics, catching coordination, and backward jumping movements — building gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Open indoor or outdoor space with room for throwing and catching. Several plastic balls of different sizes/colors. Parent and child standing facing each other about 6-8 feet apart. Safe surface for potential falls.

How it works

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
