    • Catch Hand Placement
      • A great way to illustrate catch hand placement to young players is using a clock face image.
      • Emphasize to your players that they need to keep their fingers spread wide when catching a ball.
      • If a ball is thrown above the belt, thumbs and index fingers should be together, creating a diamond shape.
      • If a ball is thrown below the belt, pinkies should be together and players bend their knees to catch the ball.
      • If a ball is thrown over the shoulder, pinkies and heals of hands should be together. Elbows also should be together.

      Coaching Tip:
      The nose of the ball fits directly into the space between thumbs and index fingers. Have players look through that space to catch the ball.
