Catch and go

How it works

  1. A passer stands still. The catcher jogs past them, 3 steps away.
  2. The passer pops the ball in front of the catcher, who catches on the move and runs on to the end cone.
  3. The catcher becomes the next passer. Speed up as catches get cleaner.

Coaching points

  • Hands up early, as a target.
  • Catch it in front of you, then run. Don't slow down to catch.
  • Passer: aim in front of the catcher, where they'll be, not where they are.

Ready for the next level when: Players catch on the move at a jog without slowing down, nearly every time.
