I don't bounce the ball. I walk in the circle with the ball in my right hand. I tell the players I'm going straight up and then push the ball up underhand with a release point above my head. I'm 6'5", so the combination of my height and talking to the jumpers as I enter the circle doesn't afford the jumpers an opportunity to steal the tap. In fact a couple times a season my toss gets called back b/c jumpers will mis-time their jumps and/or miscalculate the height of the toss and both will miss the ball.

Flip the half-dollar in the air, ask "Heads or Tails?", catch it, flip it on the back of the wrist, announce the result. Oh, wait, this isn't Iowa?

One hand underhand. The only thing I think about is, after releasing the ball, to throw my fingers straight up in the air after it. I think it helps me anyway to get the ball to go straight up. I also put the ball slightly on my finger tips so the ball goes up dead with a minimum of spin.

I prerfer the one hand toss. I am still trying to perfect it as I don't think it looks real good now. What I need to work on is not dipping my body down b4 the toss. If you have the players too close to you and each other, you are subject to get an elbow or something like this on the way up. Make sure you push them back apart from each other, men's only.
I don't understand why you referee's are trying to trick the players b4 you toss it up. That's ridiculous to me. If you throw the toss up faster and harder that won't happen. Too high is okay, simply retoss and not as high, but too low is a problem. What I have notice with the two handed toss and the quick toss is though it looks really good when done correctly, more often than not, the toss does not go up high enough. These tosses penalize a certain style of jumper who is doing it correctly, expecting the toss to go up higher. He now has to get to it quicker. This style creates the vary problem we are trying to avoid, in my opinion, and that's to get to it quicker instead of get to it at it's climax. |

One handed toss, over the head.
People who use the two handed toss tell me they would prefer to cover their face from the jumpers' elbows. I'm more concerned about the jumper's knees/feet, so I use my other hand to cover something else. |
