CATCHlNG passes. Without
l doubt. this department OF
the game is the one most
neglected by both coaches and play
ers alike. The result is that many
close contests are lost. when they
might have been won had a player
only known how to catch the ball.
You can, no doubt. readily recall
many instances when a player. ii
he had only caught the ball. could
have easily scored a goal and per
haps won the game for his team
The all-important part OF catching
the ball is the position of the hands
when the ball is caught. There are
two general methods of holding the
hands. The first is known as the
accordion style. The other the
funnel" method. Some coaches
teach one, others teach the other.
The writer has used and taught both
and received best results from the
