High Kick & Catch

Combining the high kick with a clean catch is a core GAA skill. One player kicks the ball high and the other must read its flight, get into position, and take it safely under pressure.

For Parents & Coaches

Read the Ball Early

Watch the ball from the moment it's kicked and start moving immediately. Getting into position early is the secret to a clean catch.

Get Under the Ball

Position yourself directly under the ball's flight path. Catching the ball above your head gives you the best control.

The W Shape Hands

Bring thumbs together with fingers spread wide forming a W. This gives you the largest and safest catching surface for a dropping ball.

Call for It

Shout 'mine!' as you go for the ball. This lets teammates know you have it and helps you commit fully to the catch with confidence.
