Hi Kudz,

I recommend taking a look at the catching drill category. Here's a good drill to use to work on the basics of catching the high ball. The catcher should focus on Eye Focus, bent elbows, high elbows & tucked in to sides, soft hands, palms facing up.

  • The aim of the drill is to develop basic high ball catching skills.


Coaching Points:

  • The Feeders emphasis is to throw a high ball in line with the attacker.

  • The catcher should focus on Eye Focus, bent elbows, high elbows & tucked in to sides, soft hands, palms facing up.

  • When confident the catcher can practice jumping into space.
