Receiving With Soft Hands

What you will learn

Catch a moving ball comfortably and securely. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Start with a gentle warm-up in an open area with your partners.
2. Stand facing a partner with a soft handball.
3. Show both hands, watch the ball and cushion the catch toward your chest.
4. Check whether you stay balanced while receiving.
5. Repeat gently with teammates before adding movement or distance.

Coaching tips

• Begin with easy chest-height throws.
• Use agreed safe, non-contact practice rules.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
