Baseball

Basketball

While the ball size is different the visual skills and coordination developed with Crazy Catch are excellent for Basketball. We recommend that with some of the Crazy Cards and Challenges set the rebound angle high and really challenge your leaping skills. Do try Crazy Ball as a variation for team training as there are many similarities with the game structure.

Cricket

Crazy Catch loves cricket and all the Activities are ideal to help improve your catching, batting and ground fielding skills. Quite simply if cricket is your sport you should have a Crazy Catch in your training kit.

Football

·                     Try the first five One Minute Challenges kicking rather than throwing the ball and make up your own Crazy Catch Combo and Gut Buster. Make sure you develop your weaker foot.

·                     Play Crazy Ball with kicking the ball when passing to team mates but with the final pass into the base area being caught in the hands. From the base area kick the ball at the Crazy Catch and as with the standard rules the ball can be attempted to be caught. A variation on this is to achieve 2 points the ball must be headed. No points if the ball gets to the ground first.

·                     Although the ball size for the random ball return is different than a football, Crazy Catch is ideal visual skills training for goalies.

Gaelic Football

We recommend that with some of the Crazy Cards and Challenges set the rebound angle high and really challenge your leaping skills. The Crazy Ball game is a must as part of your team training programme.

Handball

Many of the Crazy Catch Challenges and Crazy Cards are ideal for training for handball. Definitely include Crazy Ball as a variation for your team training.

Hockey             Hurling             Lacrosse

(Especially with Hurling we reckon anyone playing this has to be a touch Crazy. We like that).

Try the first 3 One Minute Challenges with a hockey ball and stick and even include Challenges 6 and 7. Make up your own Gut Buster and Crazy Catch Combo. Adapt Throw and Go and Rotate Your Mates for Hockey. If you are a Hockey Goalie then the One minute Challenge No 8 of Throw From Behind will really sharpen up your skills especially on the insane side and if the throwers vary the direction of throw. Adapt Crazy Ball to your sport. For Hockey and Hurling a point is scored when the ball is passed into a player with at least one foot in the base area and contact is made between the ball and the stick in the base area. A further point is scored from the hit into the Crazy Catch with the first stick to intercept the ball on the full face of the stick (deflections don’t count).

Netball

While the ball size is different the visual skills and coordination developed with Crazy Catch are excellent for netball. We recommend that with some of the Crazy Cards and Challenges set the rebound angle high and really challenge your leaping skills.

While all Activities will help we recommend Bounce Back as being particularly useful for developing visual skills associated with the change in flight path of a bouncing ball.

Volleyball

While the ball size is different the visual skills and coordination developed with Crazy Catch are excellent for Basketball. We recommend that with some of the Crazy Cards and Challenges set the rebound angle high and really challenge your leaping skills.
