Hello how may I help you? how do I play catch Catch is played by tossing a ball back and forth for a short period of time. Do I need a glove? You don't need one, but it could help. Do I need someone else to play with me? Yes, you need one other person. Oh what if I bounce the ball off of a wall? You can do that as well, it would no longer be catch though. What would it be if I caught the ball off of the wall? Another form of catch I suppose.
