Just
as important as kicking
skills is the ability to successfully catch
the ball in a controlled manner.
To
execute the catch
properly a player needs clearly to identify
that he is to be the catcher, once they have
done that they need to keep their eyes on the
ball and call "my ball" to communicate
clearly their intentions to the other members
of the team. Then move quickly to the spot where
the ball will land, making sure that the catcher
is side on the the attacker. Create a wide base
with the legs to ensure a good balanced position
and also a position in which the catcher will
be able to jump at catch the ball if under extreme
pressure.
