Coaching Points
Ensure the throw goes just above the head and stays within catching distance. Keep watching the ring all the way from your hand, in the air and back into your hand. Stretch your fingers as you get ready to catch, move the hand to underneath the ring as it falls down; squeeze it securely when you feel it land. Try practicing each part independently.
