Start by standing facing the wall with the tennis ball in one hand (e.g. dominant hand)
Begin the test by tossing the ball against the wallusing an underhand throw
As the ball rebounds off the wall, quickly switch hands and catch the ball with the opposite hand(e.g. non-dominant hand)
Immediately toss the ball back against the wall using the hand that caught it
Continue alternating the tossing and catching sequence between your dominant and non-dominant hands as quickly and accurately as possible for 30 seconds
Measurements and Scoring
Count the total number of successful tosses and catches completed within the 30 s time period
Each successful toss and catch sequence counts as one point
Record the total score (number of successful tosses and catches) for the wall toss test
If the ball is dropped, the timer continues
Drawing Conclusions
A higher number of points indicates a higher level of coordination and a better reaction time
Slower reaction times and lower points due to dropping would suggest that the participant would benefit from drills to enhance hand-eye coordination and reflexes
