If unsuccessful, stay/go back to 5 yards.
Execute 10 catches each side.

To execute, line up 1-3 yards from a pop up, tree or pole.
Next, close distance, work your move, flip your hips & reach with your outside hand.

Sad thing to see another fellow athlete gone to soon rest easy young king. Prayers out to the Liberty family also to his family he will truly be missed.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the loss of one of our student-athletes, Tajh Boyd.
We thank God for bringing Tajh into our Liberty Athletics community and we will always remember him as a Flame. Tajh will be missed dearly.
