Methods of Collection
Keep as much of their body square to the ball as possible at all times.
Hand Positions:– Hands in a comfortable position – Half way up or down – Use the same starting position all the time
Note:With young players often the ball is too large for their hands. If they try to catch the ball, it will slip through their hands and into the goal.
Teach the “W” for high balls and the “M” for balls below the waist.
