Big Men Fly!

Practicing "Speckies" at the Saturday Morning Footy program in June. For this drill, it is useful to have a former professional basketballer holding the ball up! (Kurt played for the Tasmanian Devils in Australia's National Basketball League).
In the drill, players run up and leap on to the bag then look up to put grab the ball. As they get better you can change things and toss the ball in the air, so players can practice their leap and timing. They also get a lot of practice falling!
Speckie practice is by far and away the most favored drill for the older players.
