Your mission, if you wish to accept it, is to improve your players' catching skills under pressure.
When the ball is thrown quickly at your players or there's a player running towards them do they panic and drop the ball? If so this session can help!

Catching Technique Recap:
Step 1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart and knees bent.
Step 2. Palms of your hand should be together, with fingers spreading and pointing down.
Step 3. Arms and hands should be in front of the body with head still and eyes level.
