Type: Drill
NET
These drills can be run with or without a net behind players. If a net is not available, place someone behind players to throw back the balls that are missed.
1. Low Ball
2. High Ball
3. Behind Ball
Purpose
- The purpose of this drill is to improve the players ability to catch difficultly thrown balls.
Procedure
- Players line up about ten yards from net or designated area for drill. Players run across at * speed catching the ball and then lining up on the other side. The drill can be repeated several times.
Coaching Points
- Low Balls- Concentrate on getting hands under the ball and flexing body to get low with the ball rather than spear it. The thumbs should be turned outward.
- High Balls- concentrate on getting the arms in the position to catch the ball in the hands. Thumbs should be turned inward behind the ball.
- Behind Ball- The waist should be turned to get the upper body and hands in position to catch the ball. It may require a complete pivot if the ball is way behind the player. Stress looking ball into hands and making a solid catch each time.
