Drill 2: Catching Practice
The cones will be placed like a goal and your aim is to stop the ball going through the cone but at the same time catch the ball.
Drill 3: Catching At Height
With this drill the key is to hit the ball as high as a coach can and let the student catch the ball. Remember to watch the ball and catch the ball with soft hands. Also keep your hands just above head high before catching the ball it will make it far easier to catch.
