Ridgy Didge - is when two players (usually goalers) stand next to each other with their feet touching (as in, one goalers left leg and the others right leg)....

Yes, I'd recommend the wall one too - if she doesn't throw hard enough, it won't come back to her. Also, make sure her balance and footwork are strong too -...
