Whistle While You Work

Dan -- key word here is "he". I quit doing this about a year ago. Girls' midsections are somewhat less "available", especially since I am often taller than the thrower and thus reaching way down to hit "mid"section. And I feel uneasy "touching" a boy player, even as innocuous as this action may seem. We are often told, don't touch the players, and I don't.

Hold the whistle near your mouth with the hand opposite the thrower and the ball in the other, say your phrase of choice, ("Ball", "Here we go"....etc), Hand ball to thrower while placing whistle in your mouth, raise hand closest to thrower, begin count with other hand.

Not too diffcult or requiring a lot of coordination, and looks smooth.

This is the answer I was looking for. Although it may seem "Not too difficult" for Andy, I may require a lot of "coordination" especially the brain kind. but I'm gonna try it and see if it can work for me.
