See the Tip, Catch the Fat When the ball is thrown your way, find the tip and focus on it. As you reach up to catch the ball, you need to see the tip, but grab the “fat” part of the ball. A great way to practice this is to color the tips of 2 or 3 footballs different colors. Have someone throw the ball to you, and you call out the color before it hits your hands. This will get you in the habit of focusing on that tip. Once you make contact, let the ball sink into your hands.
Try using your hands
Try catching with your fingertips.
