If you watched the Move of the moment last month, you would have learned the Old School Neck Catch. This month, we are teaching the Nu Skool Neck Maneuver.

So, for the New School here is the Nu Skool Neck.

For this move the same great touch needs to be there that gets the ball to your neck, but this time your head will not be lined up straight with the ball for a neck catch. This time you are going to welcome the ball in on the top of your shoulder, it doesn’t matter which one. What does matter is to create a movement that will allow the ball to roll across your shoulder blades to the other side.

So here are the steps:

1) Knock the ball over slightly over your head. Psst the ball can have some back spin on it so it will automatically travel across your back.
2) Connect with the ball on the top of a shoulder
3) Run your body to bring your opposite shoulder to meet the ball

And all that creates the Nu Skool Neck maneuver.

Good Luck and be on the look out for the next Move of the Moment.
