Ok, well as funny as it may seem, it’s true. Everytime I play football with friends or whoever and i’m going for the catch, I ALWAYS end up either jamming my finger (Which hurts alot) or dropping them. Is there any way to improve my catching skills?
Pickled: Of course I know I got zero, that’s the reason i’m asking for tips.

    Get reciever gloves. open your fingers as wide as you can when catching. and the best catchers get it with the tips of thier fingers so it does not pop out on impact. Malty21

    lol, that’s funny uz that happened to me a lot. My cousin a football player taught me that to catch a foot bal make a triangle with your thumbs and pointers and make sure the point of the football goes in their and then just grab it with the rest of your fingers i guess. monkie

    dont ry to catch with the tip of your fingers.
    put ur hands together like u were taking a drink from a spicket or somthing, make sure ur pinkies are perfectly alligned and then spread out ur fingers out keep your hands together.bend ur fingers slightly and u should be able to catch the ball.

    this is an answer from a person who could never catch the ball at all until someone gave me an answer to a question just like this and i just copied the answer. it works and i’ve never dropped a ball since. BLIz SEAHAWK CENTRAL IN O-H-I-O

    open you hands out as much as you can and catch it with your fingertips. make sure you arent closing your hands too early as well. wbadgers28

    open up your hands…for if you are getting a long pass… for if you are standing faceing the person throwing the ball. hold arms out half way. With a small bend in the elbow. and have your two thumbs tips touching eachother and your pointer finders touching eachother and streatch that out in to a dimond shape or triangle. or catch with your chest but that hurts after a while.
