Catching
beginner
2 Handed Bounce + Catch off floor when Bounced
Bounce the ball on the ground and catch it with two hands as it rebounds. Keep eyes on the ball, form a cup with both hands, and absorb the catch with soft hands to maintain control.
For Parents & Coaches
01
Eyes on the ball
Watch the ball all the way into your hands — never take your eyes off it early.
02
Soft hands
Cushion the ball as it rebounds off the ground to absorb the impact and keep control.
03
Cup shape
Form a W shape with your thumbs and forefingers so the ball lands cleanly in the cup.
