For Parents & Coaches
01
Bend the knees
Get low by bending the knees, not the back — stay balanced and mobile.
02
Hands down and open
Present open hands below waist height so the ball lands in them cleanly.
03
Cradle to body
Draw the ball into the chest after the catch to protect it from opponents.
