Catching the Sliotar
Hand position and soft catching technique to gain clean possession from a pass or puck-out.
How to do it
Make soft hands like catching a water balloon — let the ball sink into your fingers, not your palm!
For Parents & Coaches
01
Fingers not palm
Catch in the fingers and draw the ball in.
02
Soft hands
Give with the ball to cushion it.
