USING A TENNIS RACKET, THE COACH HITS THE TENNIS BALLS UP INTO THE AIR ONE BY ONE AND AS THE PLAYER IS ABOUT TO CATCH THE BALL, THE COACH HITS ANOTHER BALL INTO THE AIR FOR THE PLAYER TO CATCH, THIS PROCESS REPEATS AND GETS QUICKER THE MORE BALLS YOU CAN CATCH. ONCE THE PLAYER DROPS A BALL, THEY STOP AND SWAP OVER. IT FOCUSES ON USING SOFT HANDS TO CATCH IN THEOUTFIELD, AND REFLECT MOVEMENTS TO GET UNDER THE BALL WITH A HIGH CATCH.
