Catching Lines

Description

Games never deliver the same throw twice. Catching Lines simulates real variety — high, low, left, right — so receivers develop the full-body catching instincts needed to make adjustments on the fly.

Instructions

1. Set up two cones 15 yards apart.
2. QB stands at one cone, line of receivers at the other.
3. Receivers run toward the QB one at a time.
4. QB rotates throws: high, low, left side, right side.
5. Receiver catches in stride and loops back to the line.
6. Optional: WR begins with a spin move before approaching.

Points to Stress

• Read the ball early — find it before it is on you.
• Adjust your hands to the throw — do not body-catch.
• Eyes on the ball all the way into your hands.
• After a spin: get your eyes back to the QB immediately.
