Coaching Points

Step 1

Ensure correct distance between the fielders and batter.
Feet should be shoulder width apart or slightly wider.
Weight evenly spread, resting lightly on the balls of the feet.
Knees flexed.
Hands together, clsoe to the ground, fingers pointing down.
Head up, eyes level and alert.

Step 2

Watch the ball into your hands.
Allow the ball to come to you - don't snatch at it.
Give with the ball as you receive it.
