go back to basics. are their eyes actually following the ball all the way to their hands? are their hands taking the ball from its flight or are they waiting for the ball to reach their hands? are they using their fingers to secure the ball once it reaches the palm of their hand or is the ball just bouncing back out once it reaches them? are they balanced when catching? is the pass to hard for them at this point in time? are their hands in the right shape in order to catch? are they scared of the ball? it depends on which one/s of these are the issue, and it may be a different reason for different players. so in order to fix the problem you must first work out what exactly the problem is. once you have worked out the why are they having trouble catching, let me know and i will be able to find a way to help or i bet now that you know for some of the reason that could attribute to poor catching you will be able to work out a way to fix it yourself.
