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!
