What should you be doing during off season?

Wall Ball

For Best Results:

  • Find a flat brick or concrete wall (Racquetball courts work best) at least 10 feet high, the longer the better
  • Can use the outside wall by the weight room at Middleton High School, please be considerate of school property
  • Every drill that you do - do with both hands
  • Always wear gloves when you are performing your routine - you play with gloves so why not practice with gloves
  • Stand 5-7 yards away from the wall  
  • Perform this routine at least 4-5 times per week
  • Each routine should be at least 20 minutes in length- if you finish all drills in less than 20 minutes, repeat drills starting with the drill that challenged you the most
  • Listening to music always helps me work harder, so crank up the tunes!
  • Have fun!
