    • Playing A Game of Catch
      • Playing catch is a simple but critical part of establishing solid fundamentals.
      • Break it down into three components. Split them into pairs.  
      • Be sure the players are stepping and in line with their partner while incorporating movement, momentum and proper footwork into each throw.
      • It is critical for players to focus on being accurate and hitting their partner in the chest.
      • Start out close and slowly move back.
      • Focus on proper throwing (step in line with your partner, glove to chest, good follow-through) and receiving (two hands).
