Session 4 – Catching

Catching is a good skill to learn, and it is very specific to dodgeball because it one of the easiest ways to catch your opponents out when playing dodgeball. The skill of catching can be improved in many different ways such as having a partner throw tee ball off the wall from behind you and you will have to try and catch it. This is a brilliant way for you as a player to improve the technique of catching because the ball can be thrown at you at very high speeds which may be difficult to judge at the time. Overall I think that if you are wanting to improve your catching skills the best way to practice this is simply have people throw balls straight at you and you trying to catch it, this will replicate what will happen in a game.
