Basketball drill: passing and catching
Passing and catching
- ...prepare for the ball to come.
- Eyes on the approaching ball.
- The arms are stretched out towards the ball;
- the wrists are slightly bent backwards;
- the fingers are spread and point upwards;
- The body reaches slightly forward.
- At the moment of ball contact, the fingertips touch the ball first;
- the thumbs and slightly the index fingers are behind the ball,
- so that the ball cannot shoot through.
- the speed of the ball is slowed down by bending the arms.
- The ball comes to rest in front of the diaphragm.
- Especially with 'hard' passes, it is useful to place one foot in front of the other while catching.
