Catching Mechanics1) Whenever a receiver catches a ball the hands must be spread; thumbs out, fingers spread, softlike a net (hands and fingers should naturally wrap around the ball as it makes contact). Relaxedhands catch balls, stiff hands will cause ball to bounce off (hard surface).1) If ball is above chest the thumbs are together and make a soft net (don’t tense/stiffen hands)2) If ball is below the chest the pinkies are together and make a soft net (don’t tense/stiffenhands)3) If the ball is over the shoulder the pinkies and forearms are together and make a soft net.4) One hand facing5) Secure ball and get vertical.2) RECEIVER CATCHING PROGRESSION – 5 reps each (one hand R & L)
