Instructions

  1. 1Start in a ready position and drop-step to the called side on the coach's cue.
  2. 2Turn the hips and run on a straight line to the landing spot without peeking every stride.
  3. 3Look back over the correct shoulder once, then catch with the glove up and the palm forward.
  4. 4Reset and repeat to the opposite shoulder.

What to focus on

One drop step, then a direct route to the ball's landing spot.

Common mistake

Backpedaling, drifting sideways, or fading toward the ball instead of beating it there.
